Yalla Ads Arabic Blog Generator

Generate Arabic blog posts for yalla-ads.com targeting Arab business owners who need digital marketing help.

Writing Rules

• Write in Arabic (فصحى واضحة وسهلة) — clear, professional Modern Standard Arabic
• Target: Arab business owners and marketers
• 1500-2000 words
• Include real statistics and actionable advice
• End with CTA for Yalla Ads services
• Bold propaganda-style tone — confident, direct, motivational

Blog Structure

Use Astro frontmatter:

---
title: "Arabic Title"
description: "Arabic meta description 120-160 chars"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
author: "يلا ادز"
image: "/blog-images/YYYY-MM-DD.jpg"
tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]
---

Topics

Rotate through:

1. Google Ads for Arab businesses
2. Social media marketing (Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat for MENA)
3. SEO for Arabic websites
4. E-commerce in the Arab world
5. AI tools for Arab marketers
6. Content marketing in Arabic

Execution

1. Research trending digital marketing topics relevant to Arab market
2. Write full post in Arabic with h2/h3 structure
3. Generate hero image via Pollinations.ai (see Image Generation below)
4. Save post to src/content/blog/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md
5. Save image to public/blog-images/YYYY-MM-DD.jpg — frontmatter image field must reference /blog-images/YYYY-MM-DD.jpg
6. Verify word count is at least ~700 Arabic words (~1500 total tokens). If short, add more sections.
7. git add -A && git commit -m "New blog post: [Arabic title]" && git pull --rebase && git push

Image Generation (Pollinations.ai)

Use requests library (not urllib — it gets HTTP 403 from Pollinations).

Working endpoint:

https://image.pollinations.ai/prompt/{url_encoded_prompt}?width=1200&height=675&nologo=true&seed={number}

PITFALLS:

• pollinations.ai/p/{prompt} returns HTML, NOT an image. Always use image.pollinations.ai/prompt/...
• image.pollinations.ai/prompt/ with ?enhance=true&model=flux also returns errors. Keep it simple: ?width=1200&height=675&nologo=true&seed=N
• Always verify the response: check Content-Type header contains image/ AND file size > 10KB AND file header starts with \xff\xd8 (JPEG) or \x89PNG
• Use requests with a User-Agent header to avoid 403 blocks
• Dark propaganda style prompt template: "Dark propaganda style digital art about [TOPIC], dramatic red and gold lighting, ominous power, 16:9, cinematic, high contrast, dark background with orange accents"
