Owlsonline Admin Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I've got a message on my adsense login which requests to prevent loss of revenue download an ads.txt file then upload the file to the root level domain As a newbie to the community where does this go/how do I upload it? I've opened the file and seen some code, does that need inputting somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owlsonline Admin Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Thanks My Sharona, think I've managed to follow your instructions. Well, I'll soon see anyway! My Sharona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Silvester Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 If you're adding it via Page, make sure that you've disable the "Use Suite HTML Wrapper" setting. My Sharona and edsovn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlsonline Admin Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Brilliant, Thank you Stuart. I've just done that now and re-saved it. Hostingunlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlsonline Admin Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 I've just had another message from Adsense like the original one, but nothing has changed as far as I know.... I've added in the ads.txt file again... Is this something that happens from time to time? Is there somewhere else to input the ads.txt too that I'm missing?

Mark H Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 If you created that file in the Pages app following the steps in the guide carefully, it should have satisfied the Adsense requirement. Can you please double-check that you do have that Page created, that it still is shown in the ACP, and that it is set up following the guide? (Make sure all fields or menu choices match what the guide says.) EDIT: That guide is somewhat generic, so for ads.txt you have to fill in the info required by Adsense. The "Content" sub-tab field would be the code block which Adsense provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Can you post a link to your ads.txt? It should just be www.yourdomain.com/ads.txt. I'm just wanting to check to make sure you've properly disabled the default HTML wrapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been fine ever since I first created the page (date at the start of this thread) but changed this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Can you actually browse to the ads.txt file and see the contents correctly? If so… you can ignore the warning. It will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on the "Learn More" option to the notification, you will see what AdSense is expecting to be in your ads.txt file. Open your own ads .txt file with the following url; xxx.tld/ads.txt/ and see if it contains what you need to have there as specified by the, "Learn More" notification.

If you have FTP access (meaning you're not hosted in the IPS cloud), you just create a file called ads.txt with that content and put it in your root folder of your site. If you're hosted on IPS cloud, you don't have FTP access and you would have to use the article noted above to create the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlsonline Admin Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) It's weird as that 13 hours ago, Randy Calvert said: If you have FTP access (meaning you're not hosted in the IPS cloud), you just create a file called ads.txt with that content and put it in your root folder of your site. If you're hosted on IPS cloud, you don't have FTP access and you would have to use the article noted above to create the file. I am hosted on cloud, but It's strange as this above is exactly what I've done with the ads.txt file/details. It was all fine, then all of a sudden, not! do I need to put the robot.txt in too? The adsense learn more link doesn't say so Edited May 31, 2022 by Owlsonline Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Again this could be a false positive issue. Has your earnings dropped to almost 0? If not it’s most likely simply a false alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, the url owlsonline.com/ads.txt returns a text file with txt that looks quite similar to mine but with a different publisher id, which means as long as your publisher ID matches what you see in your adsense console, you should be fine and you're good to go. andavis and Owlsonline Admin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not it’s most likely simply a false alarm. It has dropped, below but not too dissimilar to what it was this time last year. And it seems like things have sorted themselves out now, the warning has gone. So all should be good... THANK YOU EVERYONE, you're all legends!
