How to Fix Ads.txt Status Not Found?
To check this Ads.txt Not Found problem, first, you have to log in to your Google AdSense account; then you will see the Sites option in the left sidebar; on clicking on it, all your websites will be visible there. In Ads.txt Status, you will see on which website this problem is occurring. So fix this problem like this.
What is the right way to fix Ads.txt Status Not Found?
Step 1: You see this problem when you submit your website for Google AdSense approval. During submission, Google AdSense gives you the Website Verification Code, which is an HTML script tag. You need to go to Blogger > Theme > Customise > Edit HTML and insert it between <head></head>.
So first of all check whether you have entered this code correctly or not, if it is correct then it is ok. If it is wrong, then enter it again properly. If you need this code again, then delete the website from AdSense and then submit it; at that time, you will get this code again. If it is correct, then you will have to do the further process.
Note: Before editing anything by clicking on Edit HTML, make sure to take a theme backup.
Step 2: If there is no problem with this code, then you will need the AdSense Publisher ID to fix it. To know the AdSense Publisher ID, first log in to your AdSense account, then click on Settings from the left sidebar, then click on Account Information. You will see the Publisher ID there; copy it and keep it (AdSense Login > Settings > Account Information > Publisher ID).
Step 3:
- After getting the Publisher ID, log in to your Blogger account on the website where you are facing the problem.
- After entering your Blogger account, go to Settings and then to the Monetization tab (Blogger > Settings > Monetization).
- If “custom ads.txt” is disabled in Monetization, then enable it.
- After enabling it, click on “Custom ads.txt” below; a textbox will appear before you.
- Now, copy and paste this text (google.com, pub-id, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0) in that textbox.
- In place of Pub-ID, enter your AdSense Publisher ID, which we had copied in the second step, and then save it.
If you have followed these three steps properly, then your Ads.txt Status Not Found Problem will be 100% solved.
