What to do if Ads.txt Manager is displaying ads.txt the wrong way?
Some time ago I filled in my Adsense publisher details on my Ads.txt Manager, but I was shocked when it displays in a way that I didn’t save it as. For example, the image below shows a line where I discovered an error, the Adsense domain name should have been Google.com and not https://www.google.com/adsense/.
Apparently, it displayed in a way that I didn’t save it as. Ads.txt Manager might show ads.txt the wrong way sometimes. But how do we fix it?
To be honest, the error comes from Ads.txt Manager, we might also need them or Ezoic to fix this issue. This is how to go about it:
1. Log in to your Ezoic dashboard
2. Click on the menu, then click on tickets.
3. Write to Ezoic about the problem. They might ask for login details for your Ads.txt Manager, do well to give them, then after issues have been resolved you can change your login details.
Conclusion
