With the recent v0.1.0 release of Ads.txt Plus on the Rinkeby Testnet, the MetaX team has been working diligently to release improvements to the DApp. The improvements made to Ads.txt Plus include the following:

Additional fields in the “Add Sellers” row Uploading Sellers via CSV Importing Existing ads.txt record

Additional Fields in the “Add Sellers” Row

While the initial release only called for a Seller’s Domain, Pub ID, and Relationship Type, the v0.1.1 release now asks for a Seller’s Tag ID, Format, and Region. These additional fields were added due to the apparent add-ons found on domain’s ads.txt files. Through giving publishers the option to specify the Seller’s campaign type, MetaX develops a uniform standard to be adopted by the digital advertising industry.

Uploading Sellers via CSV

In order to facilitate Excel/CSV management of Sellers, publishers can now upload a CSV file and pre-populate the fields. By treating each field as a column on the Excel sheet, publishers can start using this feature today!

Importing Existing ads.txt Record

One of the most exciting features for mass-adoption of the Ads.txt Plus DApp includes the ability to import a domain’s existing ads.txt file with the domain’s ads.txt URL. When a publisher with an existing ads.txt file wishes to manage their sellers on Ads.txt Plus, they simply paste their domain’s ads.txt URL and pre-populate the fields automatically.
