What is ads.txt?


Ads.txt ensures that only authorized partners can represent your site's supply through increased transparency in the programmatic advertising ecosystem
Publishers create a public record of their authorized partners in a simple .txt file
Why would sites want to implement ads.txt?
By identifying authorized selling partners, your site will reduce the possibility of unauthorized partners spoofing your supply and funneling revenue to an unidentified source
With increased adoption of the ads.txt spec in the marketplace, authorized sites should see an increase in revenue
Unauthorized sites will experience a decrease in revenue, fill, and CPMs so please make sure you implement the txt file immediately
How can sites implement ads.txt and declare as an authorized selling partner?
Create an ads.txt file and add it to your site's root domain directory
Add lines shown on this ads.txt example (Note: Be sure to change the header to reflect your domain name e.g. #Ads.txt yourdomainname.com)
