Custom ads.txt is a file that provides transparency to your website's ad inventory and ensures that only authorized advertisers are allowed to advertise on your site. It is a text file that lists the authorized ad networks and advertisers that are allowed to serve ads on your website. Here are the steps to create a custom ads.txt file:
- Open a text editor: Open a text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit.
- Create a new file: Create a new file and save it as "ads.txt".
- Add the necessary information: Add the following information to the file:
- Domain name of the ad network or advertiser
- Publisher ID or account ID
- Type of relationship (direct or reseller)
Each record should be on a new line, and the fields should be separated by commas. For example:
Paste the line into each of your ads.txt files.
Your ads.txt file should now look like this, where pub-0000000000000000 is your own publisher ID:
google.com, pub-0000000000000000, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0
- Save the file: Save the file and make sure it is named "ads.txt". The file should be saved in the root directory of your website.
- Upload the file: Upload the file to the root directory of your website using an FTP client or file manager.
- Verify the file: Use the Ads.txt validator tool provided by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) to verify that the ads.txt file is correctly formatted and contains the necessary information.
By following these steps, you should be able to create a custom ads.txt file for your website and ensure that only authorized advertisers are allowed to serve ads on your site.
