LLM PROMPT: Fix Content Issues for Google AdSense Approval

CONTEXT

You are a Senior Staff Engineer working on bigjson.online, a Next.js 15 website that provides free JSON tools (formatter, validator, viewer, etc.) along with educational blog content about JSON.

The site has been audited for Google AdSense compliance. Legal requirements (Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, Cookie Consent) have been completed. However, critical content issues remain that will block AdSense approval.

Your task: Fix the 4 critical content issues identified in the audit.

PROJECT INFORMATION

Tech Stack:

  • Next.js 15 (App Router)
  • React 19
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • File-based routing in /app directory
  • Blog posts stored in /lib/blog/posts/[language]/

Current State:

  • ~400 pages total
  • 440 blog posts across 17 languages
  • 6 functional tool pages
  • 1 placeholder tool page (JSON Schema Generator)
  • Off-topic content exists (Valentine's Day posts)

Goal: Reduce to ~150-200 high-quality pages ready for AdSense approval

ISSUE 1: DELETE OFF-TOPIC CONTENT (Valentine's Day)

Problem

The /lib/blog/posts/other/ folder contains Valentine's Day relationship advice content across 10 languages. This is:

  • Off-topic for a JSON developer tool website
  • Obvious content farming signal to Google
  • Provides no value to the target audience (developers)

Current Files

/lib/blog/posts/other/
  valentine-day-2026.en.ts
  valentine-day-2026.ar.ts
  valentine-day-2026.de.ts
  valentine-day-2026.es.ts
  valentine-day-2026.fr.ts
  valentine-day-2026.it.ts
  valentine-day-2026.ja.ts
  valentine-day-2026.ko.ts
  valentine-day-2026.ru.ts
  valentine-day-2026.zh.ts

Task

Delete the entire /lib/blog/posts/other/ directory.

Command (PowerShell):

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force ./lib/blog/posts/other/

Then verify:

  • Check /app/blogs/other/page.tsx - if this file imports from the deleted folder, you may need to delete this page too or handle the missing imports
  • Search codebase for any references to "valentine" or "/blogs/other/" and remove them
  • Rebuild the site and verify no broken imports

Acceptance Criteria:

  • /lib/blog/posts/other/ directory deleted
  • No broken imports or references
  • Site builds successfully: npm run build
  • No Valentine's Day content appears on the site

ISSUE 2: REDUCE LANGUAGE COUNT (17 → 3-5 languages)

Problem

The site has 440 blog posts across 17 languages:

  • ar (Arabic)
  • de (German)
  • en (English) - 29 posts
  • es (Spanish)
  • fr (French)
  • id (Indonesian)
  • it (Italian)
  • ja (Japanese)
  • ko (Korean)
  • nl (Dutch)
  • pl (Polish)
  • pt (Portuguese)
  • ru (Russian)
  • tr (Turkish)
  • zh (Chinese)
  • And potentially others

This triggers Google's "scaled content abuse" detection because:

  • Same content in 17 languages looks programmatically generated
  • Impossible for a small team to maintain quality across all languages
  • Likely auto-translated without human cultural adaptation

Decision Points

You have 3 options - choose ONE based on your capability:

Option A: English Only (Safest, Recommended)

Keep only English blog posts, delete all other languages.

Pros:

  • Cleanest for AdSense approval
  • No translation quality concerns
  • Easiest to maintain

Command:

# Delete all non-English language folders
Get-ChildItem ./lib/blog/posts/* -Directory | 
    Where-Object { $_.Name -ne 'en' } | 
    Remove-Item -Recurse -Force

Option B: English + Spanish + Chinese (Moderate)

Keep 3 major languages, delete the rest.

Requirements:

  • Each Spanish/Chinese post must be human-reviewed
  • Must have unique cultural examples (not just translations)
  • Must add translator attribution if needed

Command:

# Keep only en, es, zh
$keepLangs = @('en', 'es', 'zh')
Get-ChildItem ./lib/blog/posts/* -Directory | 
    Where-Object { $keepLangs -notcontains $_.Name } | 
    Remove-Item -Recurse -Force

Option C: English + Spanish + Chinese + Japanese (Maximum)

Keep 4 languages (covers major developer markets).

Same requirements as Option B plus Japanese review.

Command:

# Keep only en, es, zh, ja
$keepLangs = @('en', 'es', 'zh', 'ja')
Get-ChildItem ./lib/blog/posts/* -Directory | 
    Where-Object { $keepLangs -notcontains $_.Name } | 
    Remove-Item -Recurse -Force

Task

  1. Choose ONE of the options above
  2. Execute the deletion command
  3. Update any language-switching code that references deleted languages
  4. Check these files for hardcoded language references:
    • /lib/blog/types.ts - LANGUAGES constant
    • Any language selector components
    • Metadata in /app/layout.tsx

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Language count reduced to ≤5 folders in /lib/blog/posts/
  • Total blog posts reduced from 440 to <150
  • Site builds successfully
  • No broken language switcher references
  • Remaining translations are human-quality (if keeping non-English)

ISSUE 3: DELETE OR COMPLETE PLACEHOLDER PAGE

Problem

/app/tools/json-schema-generator/page.tsx is a "Coming Soon" placeholder with no functional tool.

Quote from the page:

"JSON Schema Generator Coming Soon!
We're building an advanced JSON Schema generator..."

Why this is critical:

  • Google views this as a doorway page (created to rank for keywords without providing value)
  • Violates "thin content" policy
  • Could trigger manual penalty

Decision Points

Choose ONE option:

Option A: DELETE (Recommended for fast approval)

Files to modify:

  1. Delete the page:
Remove-Item ./app/tools/json-schema-generator/page.tsx

  1. Edit /app/sitemap.ts:

    • Find and delete the entry for json-schema-generator (around line 104)

  2. Edit /app/tools/page.tsx:

    • Find the tools array
    • Delete the object with href: '/tools/json-schema-generator'

  3. Search codebase for internal links:

# Find references
Select-String -Path . -Recurse -Pattern "/tools/json-schema-generator" -Include "*.tsx","*.ts","*.md"
  • Remove these links from blog posts and other pages

Option B: Build the actual tool (2-3 days work, NOT recommended unless you can deliver)

Requirements if you choose this:

  • Implement a working JSON Schema generator
  • Add 1000+ words of tutorial content
  • Add examples and documentation
  • Ensure it provides real value to users

Only choose this if you can build it properly.

Option C: Hide it with noindex (Acceptable but not ideal)

Edit /app/tools/json-schema-generator/page.tsx:

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'JSON Schema Generator - Coming Soon',
  robots: {
    index: false,  // Add this
    follow: false, // Add this
  },
};

Then remove from sitemap.ts and tools listing page.

Task

  1. Choose Option A (recommended)
  2. Execute all deletion/modification steps
  3. Verify no broken links

Acceptance Criteria:

  • No placeholder/coming soon pages exist
  • All references removed from sitemap, tools page, blog posts
  • Site builds successfully
  • No 404 errors when clicking tool links

ISSUE 4: ADD EDITORIAL GUIDELINES PAGE

Problem

With high content volume, Google suspects:

  • AI bulk content generation
  • Auto-translation without review
  • Content scraping/spinning

You need to prove your content creation process is legitimate.

Task

Create /app/editorial-guidelines/page.tsx with comprehensive content creation disclosure.

File to Create

Path: /app/editorial-guidelines/page.tsx

Content:

import type { Metadata } from 'next';
import Link from 'next/link';

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'Editorial Guidelines & Content Standards - BigJSON.online',
  description: 'Our commitment to quality content: editorial process, standards, and transparency about how we create developer resources.',
  keywords: 'editorial guidelines, content standards, quality assurance, content creation process',
  robots: {
    index: true,
    follow: true,
  },
  alternates: {
    canonical: 'https://www.bigjson.online/editorial-guidelines',
  },
};

export default function EditorialGuidelinesPage() {
  return (
