To solve ads.txt status not found in Google AdSense 2023, follow these steps:
- Create an ads.txt file. You can use a plain text editor like Notepad or TextEdit to create a new file. Save the file as
ads.txtand place it in the root directory of your website. - Add your publisher ID to the ads.txt file. To find your publisher ID, sign in to your AdSense account and click Sites on the left-hand menu. Your publisher ID will be listed in the top right corner of the page.
- Add the following line to the ads.txt file:
google.com, pub-0000000000000000, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0
Replace pub-0000000000000000 with your own publisher ID.
4. Upload the ads.txt file to your website. Once you have uploaded the file, use a web browser to access the following URL:
https://[YOUR_DOMAIN]/ads.txt
You should see the contents of your ads.txt file.
- Wait for your ads.txt file to be verified. It may take up to 24 hours for Google to verify your ads.txt file. Once your file has been verified, the ads.txt status in your AdSense account will change from "Not found" to "OK".
If you have followed these steps and your ads.txt status is still "Not found", please contact Google AdSense support for assistance.
Here are some additional tips:
