Ok, this has bothered me for a long time and now i have finally found a solution for it thanks to Kafkaesqui moderator on WordPress Support. As the title says when you are using a query_posts() to exclude, include categories or what ever you want pagination dosen't work it shows same posts on every page (This is for all pages that use query_posts not just index, so it's for templates etc...)
Where's the problem? query_posts() is a powerful function, but in this situation it has a flaw: it overrides nearly everything in the standard posts object query, including what the paged offset is.
How to fix it? To get proper pagination with query_posts() we need to recreate it through the 'paged' parameter or query. Best way to do this is to ask WordPress for the "page" we happen to be on, and use that as our 'paged' value. There's the code for it
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php query_posts("category_name=somecat"); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> replace with <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("category_name=somecat&paged=$paged"); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
And that's it! The $paged = line above uses what's called a ternary operator to test whether the 'paged' query variable is available. If it is, $paged receives its value. If it isn't, we assume we're on the first page and assign it '1'. Then we tell query_posts() what page we're on with the addition of &paged=$paged.

Really appreciate, thanks a lot.
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally
educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this in my search for something concerning this.
I just like the helpful information you supply to your articles. I will bookmark your blog and check again here regularly. I’m slightly certain I’ll be informed plenty of new stuff right here! Good luck for the next!
