But, now I’m back with a new article, adsense earnings at risk ads.txt file issues, that I’m sure will be helpful, hopefully :).

Fix this now to avoid severe impact to your revenue”.

It’s fixing is easy though. You just need to click on Fix Now button and download the ads.txt file. See pictures below:
