Overall, it has created more transparency by defining who can represent and sell inventory. It verifies your ownership of the site and shows which advertisers are approved to purchase ad space on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does it look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A text file that contains the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The domain name of the seller to sell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Publisher account ID<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type of the seller: direct or reseller<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type of kit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To check if a site has this file, simply add &#8220;ads.txt&#8221; after the domain name.
