Comment on How I Made Money Spamming Twitter with Contextual Book Suggestions

Comments

Trying the website resulted in this:

  We recommended these books based on the following terms:
  schon, only, when, that
It's really weird that any of the suggestions made sense when words like these aren't blocked. The "schon" is German, but the rest should really not play into any ratings

Apparently my corpus isn't a large enough size to naturally filter out useless words like the ones you listed so I have added stopword filtering. Give it another shot and see how it works for you.
