Do I need to update or re-do the ads.txt file for Google AdSense in my updated vB Cloud site?

It seems to have stopped working.

Ad Sense error says "Not found" ?

We use AdSense and they still work after the update, didn't have to redo or update anything.

Hope that helps.

It does, thanks, I'll keep checking on my end. It just started not working, so...

Google expects to find the ads.txt file at domain.com not sub-domain.domain.com. If you aren't redirecting domain.com to your cloud URL at sub-domain.domain.com, then Google might not find it.

You can use CloudFlare DNS to set up an ALIAS redirect if your registrar does not support that. The instructions are fairly technical though - https://developers.cloudflare.com/su...th-page-rules/

Only set up rules for domain.com.

Thanks, Wayne. I don't believe I have changed anything, and it has been working for years until now.

I believe it was looking for trackforum.org - is that not my Cloud url?

I have another one set up for trackforum.com on another server, but it is still working.

The ads.txt that we serve would be coming from https://www.trackforum.org. I can verify that the file is being served correctly.

It also appears that you're redirecting trackforum.org to www.trackforum.org. So Google should be shown the file when they request it.

Wayne, you're the best As always. Thanks.
