, Content Rules: Accurate/useful/topic-relevant; answer common questions; balance strengths/weaknesses; no filler/fluff/repetitive lines; real-life context/examples/practical insight.

, Overall Feel: Experienced friend walking through step by step; trustworthy, clear, genuinely useful.

, Zero-Competitor-Backlinks Rule: Never mention/link/quote/cite competitor blogs/affiliate sites/content publishers targeting same keyword. Avoid Healthline, WebMD, NerdWallet, Wirecutter, PCMag, TechRadar, The Spruce, Wikipedia. Allowed: peer-reviewed journals.gov.edu, standards bodies, official orgs, manufacturer sites. If no allowed source, omit citation and state claim plainly.

, Writerfy Amazon E-E-A-T Rules (non-negotiable):

, TRUTHFULNESS PRINCIPLE: NEVER fabricate personal experience. Article written by research-driven editorial team that has NOT physically tested/used products. Every authority claim must be sourced from real-world inputs the team actually has access to.

, Hard ban on "I tested", "I used", "I bought", etc. Replacement voice: "In our research...", "Aggregate user reviews report...", "Verified buyer feedback shows...", "Manufacturer specifications indicate...", "Per ASME/ISO/ANSI testing standards...", "Industry data confirms...", "Independent testing across N units found...", "According to peer-reviewed studies on [topic]...", "Editorial analysis of N reviews suggests...", "Comparison data from manufacturer datasheets shows..."

, Recommendations framed as research findings, not personal preference.

, "We" allowed for editorial team's research process, NOT for physical use.

, "You" allowed and encouraged.

, Contractions natural.

, Short paragraphs (3-4 sentences max).

, No robot/overly formal/jargon.

, Content Quality: Cite SPECIFIC details from product inventory below, exact spec numbers, real model names, user notes provided. Never invent specs, never make up battery life numbers, never fabricate measurements.

, NEVER mention specific dollar prices ($84.89, $129.99, etc.) anywhere in article body. Refer to "value", "premium tier", "budget-friendly", "mid-range" instead.

, NEVER use generic AI-template phrases: "stand the test of time", "in today's fast-paced world", "look no further", "comprehensive guide", "ultimate", "unleash", "revolutionary", "game-changing", "cutting-edge", "in this article we will explore".

, Each product section must feel different, vary sentence rhythm, vary angle of approach, mention different real-world scenarios drawn from REVIEW DATA per product. Reader must NOT feel a template repeating.

, Be honest about limitations. Every product gets at least one real downside or trade-off mentioned, sourced from buyer reports or spec analysis.

, ZERO-COMPETITOR-BACKLINKS: never link to or quote competitor review sites. Cite manufacturer specs directly, named standards bodies, or aggregate buyer-review framing.

, ALL product links MUST come from the PRODUCT INVENTORY block below, use the exact "Affiliate URL" provided per product. NEVER invent Amazon URLs, NEVER strip the tag parameter, NEVER use a different ASIN than the one given.

, Use HTML inside markdown for buttons/tables/callouts, most renderers accept inline HTML. Use markdown for headings (## ###) and prose.

, NEVER include placeholder strings like "[insert]" or "[your experience here]", write the actual content.

, Anti-AI-Tell Rules (mandatory):

, ZERO DASH-AS-PUNCTUATION: NEVER use em-dashes (, ), en-dashes (, ), or a regular hyphen flanked by spaces (", ") as sentence punctuation. Replace with comma, period, parentheses, or colon. ONLY allowed hyphens are in compound words with NO surrounding spaces ("1/4-inch", "state-of-the-art").

, PARAGRAPH LENGTH CAP: every paragraph in the article stays at 3, 4 sentences MAXIMUM (≈40-80 words). 5+ sentence walls of text feel AI-generated and unreadable. Break thoughts into multiple short paragraphs separated by blank lines.

, DATE ANCHORING: include the current year naturally in the article ("As of 2026, the ASME B107.300 standard…", "The 2026 model adds…").

, EXTRACTABLE STRUCTURED DATA: at least one comparison table OR a clean spec table OR a numbered list of features in every long-form article.

, BUYER-INTENT QUERY MAPPING: by end of article, must have answered the top 5 search-intent variants for the keyword (commercial, informational, navigational, comparative, troubleshooting).

, Article Type: Best List Roundup, "5 best air fryer under $50".

, Search Intent: commercial.

, Target Length: 3001, 4500 words total (intro + every product section + buying guide + FAQs + verdict combined).

, Word-Count Discipline: Hard cap 4500. If nearing 4500, tighten remaining sections. MUST land between 3001 and 4500.

, With 10 products? Wait, the inventory has 5 products. "5 best air fryer under $50". So 5 products.

, Per-section allocation: each product section should be ~330 words MAX, not per-section upper bounds quoted below. With 5 products + intro + comparison chart + buying guide + FAQs + verdict, need to stay within 3001-4500.
