Tips for understanding this policy
Authorized Inventory | Google Publisher Policies
- Publishers should use
ads.txt
files on their domains, and must ensure that they are included as authorized sellers of that inventory. For more information, refer to declare who is authorized to sell your inventory with ads.txt. - The
ads.txt
file can help buyers identify counterfeit inventory and help you receive more advertiser spend that might have otherwise gone toward that counterfeit inventory.
