Google Ad Manager, AdMob add support for app-ads.txt, to start blocking unauthorized ad serving for publishers this month


Google Ad Manager and AdMob, Google’s mobile ad network, now support app-ads.txt, the anti-ad fraud protocol for app publishers. An extension of IAB Tech Lab’s ads.txt standard, app-ads.txt is designed to address the specific needs of apps distributed through mobile and connected TV app stores. Publishers publish the text file listing the open exchanges that are authorized to sell their inventory to the root directory of their websites and link their app store listings to their websites. Programmatic buyers can then inspect the files to ensure they are buying from authorized sellers and not domains or apps set up to spoof publishers and steal their ad revenue.

Why we should care?

Google said in April that its DSP Display & Video 360 would stop buying unauthorized in-app inventory starting in August. Given its market leadership position, Google’s support for app-ads.txt from both the buy and sell sides will help propel the adoption of the standard by app publishers.
Last week, Centro announced its DSP Basis will only buy inventory from authorized sellers listed in app-ads.txt files. In April, Tappx began offering free app-ads.txt file hosting for app publishers that don’t have their own websites. At that time, Tappx said fewer than 1% of apps had app-ads.txt set up correctly.
“We strongly encourage you to create an app-ads.txt file and publish it to the developer domain you have listed in your App Store and/or Google Play store listing,” Google said in the announcement.”This will help prevent unauthorized and domain-spoofed app inventory from damaging your brand and revenue. Publishers who do not implement an app-ads.txt file will see no changes to their ad serving, but they will not benefit from these added spoofing protections.
  • A new app-ads.txt tab in the Google Ad Manager interface will show publishers the percentage of queries that have app-ads.txt posted and authorized sellers listed.
  • The dashboards in AdMob and Google Ad Manager also show errors when the publisher ID or authorized sellers are missing., with links to fix the issues.
  • The app-ads.txt file includes the name of the ad network as the domain name, the publisher’s ID or property code.

A Good Web Design Is All You Need To Begin!

Re-designing a website is a common practice for most small, medium and large businesses today. The reason could be any; but while doing so, many businesses fail to consider the significance of this activity from them when it comes to the digital marketing strategy that will of course take place sooner or later, once the website is created or overhauled by them. In most cases, when a website is going through the redesigning phases, things end up totally in wrong directions and the new design is actually worse than the previous one. The core problem is that web designers and developers focus on one element fully rather than considering the  digital marketing strategy  as a whole. A good example here would be the introduction of novel brand OR in order to amplify the  search engine optimization  potential that a website may have and/or any one aspect that requires immediate attention just because it is in the spotlight during a particular time. One would need to understand this
