Google AdSense warning because of ads.txt

Thomas Hauck
Edited

I was accepted into the "Journey by Mediavine" publisher program.
Mediavine autogenerated an "ads.txt" file for my website (which I uploaded) , and this ads.txt file did not include my publisher ID from AdSense.

Now I am receiving the following warning in my AdSense account.

"Earnings at risk - You need to fix some ads.txt file issues to avoid severe impact to your revenue."

Question: Should I ignore this warning because Mediavine wants to have exclusive Ad Inventory for my website?


For my domain which was approved by Mediavine, it says the following in AdSense.

Approval status: ready
ads.txt status : Unauthorized

The ads.txt status changed from "Authorized" to "Unauthorized" after I uploaded the ads.txt file generated by the "Journey by Mediavine" program.

Should I ignore this warning?

    Hey Thomas Hauck - thanks for reaching out! The warning you're seeing is expected if you're switching from Adsense to Journey. You can safely ignore this moving forward, as Journey will be managing your Ad Inventory.
