Recently, I was setting up AdSense for my blog. 

If you see this in your AdSense

Earnings at risk - You need to fix some ads.txt file issues to avoid severe impact to your revenue.

Create an ads.txt file for 1 site

To prevent severe impact on revenue, download an ads.txt file then upload the file to the root level domain of each site:

- <your site>.blogspot.com

It may take a few days for changes to update. If you’re using another ad network, remember to add the network to the ads.txt file. See the ads.txt guide for more details.

Create an ads.txt file for your site

AdSense provides a personalized ads.txt file that you can download from your account. The personalized ads.txt file includes your publisher ID. Your publisher ID must be included and formatted correctly for your ads.txt file to be verified.

1. Sign in to your AdSense account.

2. If there's an alert on your homepage, click Fix now. Otherwise, click Sites.

3. Click the Down arrow  to open the "Create an ads.txt file for..." message.

4. Click Download. Your ads.txt file is automatically downloaded.

5. (Optional) If you’re using another ad network, remember to add that network to your ads.txt file. Contact your ad network for their ads.txt information.

6. Upload your ads.txt file to the root directory of your site. The root directory of a site is the directory or folder following the top level domain (example.com/ads.txt).

To verify that you published your file correctly, check that you successfully see your file's content when you access the ads.txt URL (https://example.com/ads.txt) in your web browser. If you can see the file in your web browser, it's likely that AdSense will successfully find it.
