How I rebuilt Astro slug pages after AdSense flagged three sites for scaled content abuse

How I rebuilt Astro slug pages after AdSense flagged three sites for scaled content abuse

Short summary

Author rebuilt template-based slug pages on two directory sites to fix Google AdSense's "scaled content abuse" rejection. Instead of identical structures with substituted nouns, pages now branch based on varying data fields (pipeline type, download tier, price), generating contextually distinct content. Includes code examples showing how data-dependent templating addresses Google's March 2024 spam update policy.

  • AdSense rejected sites for "scaled content abuse" — pages were structural clones with different data
  • Solution: branch content generation on data fields that vary (pipeline type, download tier, engagement ratio)
  • Code examples show how conditional branches generate truly different editorial text, not just different nouns

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
