In our last release we uploaded over 5,000 Topics into Helium's database. These Topics were derived from highly searched terms on the Internet. Basically, we learned what people are searching for and now we're providing additional content for them to view. Previously conducted research on this proved Topics should  increase site traffic, writers article earnings, bounce rate, time spent on site, and the overall potential of Helium. (Find out more by visiting the Helium Blog).

We understand that with over 5,000 new automatically generated pages (at least they begin as auto generated) we're bound to run into a few errors which is why we created this forum. Please post the Topic names and their URL below for which you would like our Topic Community to look at and/or fix. Acceptable issues to cite are incomplete or wrong keywords (e.g. "blue book" instead of "Kelly Blue Book"), irrelevant content (e.g. a Topic about Donna Summer which pulls summer related articles), and any other issues you may feel are important.

Thank you!

 

Additional Information:

What are Topics?
Topics are part of Helium’s new group products and are information-rich content landing pages for people to find factual and unbiased overviews on a topic. Topics are like Zones in that they are created using the same basic technology and layout, but the difference lies in that they'll be linked to from articles all over Helium. Topics are built from a mash-up of content found all over the web like related Helium articles, Yahoo News, and Google Images. Most Topics start out on the site as automatically generated pages, but is then enhanced Topic community members who collaborate build optimal pages for visitors of Helium to view.

Where will I see them?
Visitors will see hyperlinked text throughout articles all over Helium. Each time there is a keyword phrase which matches a title of a Topic, it will hyperlink the phrase to the Topic.  For example, Tiger Woods is a popular search term and we have a Topic automatically generated on him. Anytime you see his name in an article it will hyperlink to his Topic titled "Tiger Woods".

Here's one I think fits, the key word phrase is "hair bows", goes to the following zone in Sports Training Equipment --

http://training-equipment.helium.com/topic/7819-hair-bows

Tje sports zone is almost all dating, dog bows, hair bows, music bows ie; for the cello and violin, and the only sports reference is off klter and about archery bows. Not sure how that all got pulled into sports training equipment, but not a single article relates, nor do the links leading to it.

Is that the type of thing you're looking for?

Here's one I found in rating. It doesn't fit the context of the article, and actually not really for the Topic either...it looks like it's in Society and Lifestyles, but the majority of the articles in the topic don't reflect it.

Here's one that is slighty off.  The top few articles are fine but the bottom two are stretching it.

Thanks!

Here's another.  Fairly okay at the top of the page, but the bottom ones are unrelated poems.

Thanks, Kat. Adding the information which you feel is incorrect is extremely beneficial for us to know exactly what should be addressed.

Sorry, there were so many wrong ones that I added several channel related threads.

http://parenting.helium.com/topic/7689-beat-me-up

 

This one is rather odd!  Beat Me Up?  LOL


Bullies?  I don't know it just struck me as an odd title.  Maybe it's me.  And there's an article about the Beat Generation in it, too!  Just thought someone might want to look closer at this one.

This one is mostly poetry.  I am not sure we have much on Muddy Waters, though.  Let me know if you want me to seed some titles! I ended up seeding a bio title and two album reviews.  Crossing fingers!

 

:)

 

Sorry to drive you made but I am checking them in NARS when I come across them.

Here she is again!

 

This one  has two in the middle that are unrelated.  The top ones seem okay and the bottom ones are a bit of a stretch to me.  :)

This one popped up with my name in a Google Alert. Topic is CPS, at the bottom is an article of mine about special education, not related to the topic. Not sure about the article above mine. The rest look fine though!
