Your Blogger ads.txt file will need to be updated periodically. You will be able to tell if it is out of date by checking your dashboard and looking at your Ads.txt site health. Blogger has implemented a solution that makes the ads.txt file very simple to install and setup.
Here are the directions, customized for Journey ads, below:
Set up an ads.txt file
- Sign in to Blogger.
- Under Settings > Publishing > Redirect domain - make sure this setting is toggled to redirect “yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com"
- On the same Settings panel, scroll down to the “Monetization” section
- Under "Monetization," toggle on the option to “Enable custom ads.txt”
- Navigate to your Journey dashboard as shown in screenshot below. Click the ‘Copy URL’ button, open in a new tab and paste the url. In this tab, select the entire contents, and copy them.
