I am trying to enable AdSense and I cannot get it to work. I’ve looked through all of the solutions, YouTube, Google and nothing is working to get it crawled. I made a file with text edit on my Mac and nothing. Please help, thanks.
Topic summary
Multiple Shopify users are struggling to implement Google AdSense’s ads.txt file requirement and get it properly crawled by Google.
Core Issue:
- Users have created ads.txt files but Google is not recognizing or crawling them
- Standard Shopify documentation and instructions are not resolving the problem
Troubleshooting Attempts:
- Tried various solutions from YouTube and Google searches without success
- Created files using TextEdit on Mac
- One user attempted adding Google code to the “Alt Text” field as a workaround
Current Status:
- Problem remains unresolved after weeks of effort
- Users are seeking help from Shopify directly
- Preference to avoid installing additional apps if possible
The discussion indicates a gap between Shopify’s official guidance and what actually works for ads.txt implementation.
I am not familiar with coding and I am trying not to add extra apps to my site.
I am having the same problems and been working with it a few of weeks and it is till not being recognized by Google. Im also using a Mac. The last thing Ive tried is adding the google code to the “Alt Text” in the file. I will see if that will change things. The Shopify direction for this is not working.
Shopify please help with this.
