Creating and uploading a seller.json file for Google AdSense requires a few steps. This file helps you declare the authorized sellers of your ad inventory and can enhance ad serving on your website. Below are step-by-step instructions on how to create and implement a seller.json file:
Step 1: Understand seller.json
- The seller.json file is a JSON file that provides transparency about the authorized sellers of your ad inventory. It helps ensure that only trusted sellers can monetize your inventory.
Step 2: Create the JSON File
Open a text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac).
Create a new plain text document.
Add the following JSON structure, customizing it with your information:
{ “sellerId”: “your-seller-id”, “name”: “Your Website’s Name”, “domains”: [“yourwebsite.com”], “sellerType”: “PUBLISHER”, “revision”: 1, “sellerJsonVersion”: 1 }
- Replace “your-seller-id” with your unique seller ID.
- Replace “Your Website’s Name” with the name of your website.
- Replace “yourwebsite.com” with your website’s domain name.
Step 3: Save the JSON File
- Save the file with the name seller.json. Ensure it is saved as a plain text file with the extension .json.
Step 4: Upload to Your Website
Access your website’s server or hosting control panel.
Navigate to the root directory of your website. This is typically where your website’s main files are located.
Upload the seller.json file to the root directory of your website using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or your hosting provider’s file manager.
Using the text and edit plus editors, you may generate the file anywhere on your computer. Then, all you have to do is open your cpanel and ftp (filezila), click the Public_HTML folder, and upload your JSON file to the root server.
