Ads.txt troubleshooter

Ads.txt helps ensure your ad space is only sold through sellers (e.g., AdSense) who you've identified as authorized. Advertisers who use some of our ads products to buy ad space on publisher sites now have the option to only bid on inventory from sellers that are classified as authorized through ads.txt.

To ensure that prospective advertisers can continue to bid on your ad space, it’s important to create and publish an ads.txt file on all your sites.
