International Day of Happiness

What's behind the UN's day for happiness?

Happy International Day of Happiness! Yes, this is a real commemorative day, one that was created and is celebrated by the United Nations. Though it might sound somewhat trivial or silly (shouldn't we strive for happiness every day?), there are some genuinely good ideas behind the day's creation. 

As per the UN's website, the International Day of Happiness calls for "a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes the happiness and well-being of all peoples." The UN uses today as an opportunity to encourage governments around the world to invest in policies and initiatives that will help boost the happiness of their populations.

Respecting human rights, maintaining peace and social order, upholding legal institutions, and delivering public services are all aspects of life that today is meant to acknowledge and promote.

EEAT With Notability and Transparency

We often cover the importance of high levels of EEAT in order for Google to recognize articles as high-quality and bring them up higher in search results. Still, there's more to a great piece than having experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. This is why HubPages follows a thorough set of standards to boost article quality, like having high-quality landscape images at the top and following APA case in titles, among other things. 

Now, think of notability and transparency as addendums to EEAT, further increasing the quality of your articles. But what are notability and transparency? 

Notability is a bit vague, having to do with establishing a notable reputation for providing information and having influence within the niche topic or website's focus. Boosting the notability may be difficult within one article, but making edits to individual pieces to boost the notability of the network site overall will help. By having so many network sites focusing on specific topics (film, music, tech) should help HubPages' notability level!

Transparency has more to do with who is behind the information being provided. That goes for both the author and the company publishing their words. Therefore, we recommend you take the time to craft thorough and up-to-date profile bios to reflect your expertise on the topics you write about. If you haven't ever read through the About Us and Editorial Policy pages on each network site, do so! This is where HubPages is able to give readers an overview of who is creating and editing the words they're consuming.
