Debt.com

<p>Debt.com works with publishers to monetize their traffic with lead generation efforts.  Business in a Box allows WordPress<br />
blogs and sites to offer these forms, phone numbers, and comparison widgets without needing programming expertise.</p>
<p>Upon configuration, the Plugin adds 5 Widgets and 13 Shortcodes to make it esay to implement forms, calculators, comparison engines, and advertisement within your site.<br />
Users are able to complete their experience on your website, only redirecting to an external signup page of the advertiser requires submission on their site.  Debt.com<br />
will also provide a landing page that your form links to, that has more information for users that want to learn more before applying.</p>
<p><strong>Revenue Opportunity:</strong> The various widgets use comparable space to an Adsense Advertising block, and potentially generate 20% or more revenue than the equivalent Ad Sense Unit,<br />
without taking the user off your site.  There is no conflict with running Adsense and Business in a Box, successful publishers do run both.</p>

<p>Create, manage, and validate your ads.txt and app-ads.txt from within WordPress, like any other content asset. Requires PHP 7.4+.</p>
<h3>What is ads.txt?</h3>
<p>Ads.txt is an initiative by the Interactive Advertising Bureau to enable publishers to take control over who can sell their ad inventory. Through our work at 10up with various publishers, we’ve created a way to manage and validate your ads.txt file from within WordPress, eliminating the need to upload a file. The validation baked into the plugin helps avoid malformed records, which can cause issues that end up cached for up to 24 hours and can lead to a drop in ad revenue.</p>
<h3>Technical Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Requires PHP 7.4+.</li>
<li>Ad blockers may break syntax highlighting and pre-save error checking on the edit screen.</li>
<li>Rewrites need to be enabled. Without rewrites, WordPress cannot know to supply <code>/ads.txt</code> when requested.</li>
<li>Your site URL must not contain a path (e.g. <code>https://example.com/site/</code> or path-based multisite installs). While the plugin will appear to function in the admin, it will not display the contents at <code>https://example.com/site/ads.txt</code>. This is because the plugin follows the IAB spec, which requires that the ads.txt file be located at the root of a domain or subdomain.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What about ads.cert?</h3>
<p>We’re closely monitoring continued developments in the ad fraud space, and see this plugin as not only a way to create and manage your ads.txt file but also be prepared for future changes and upgrades to specifications. Ads.cert is still in the extremely early stages so we don’t see any immediate concerns with implementing ads.txt.</p>
<h3>Can I use this with multisite?</h3>
<p>Yes! However, if you are using a subfolder installation it will only work for the main site. This is because you can only have one ads.txt for a given domain or subdomain per the <a href="https://iabtechlab.com/ads-txt/" rel="nofollow ugc">ads.txt spec</a>.  Our recommendation is to only activate Ads.txt Manager per-site.</p>


Ads.txt Manager

Before, we had a file checked in to our repo for ads.txt.  This meant that when changes needed to be made, someone had to edit the file, commit it and do a PR that needed to be removed. Thanks to this plugin, now the programmatic team can just login to WordPress and manage the Ads file.  No PRs that require a signoff means we can be more nimble and the automated error checking helped us fix a problem as soon as we activated the plugin. 

Great Plugin that helped both the engineering and programatic teams

Awesome plugin !!

Create, manage, and validate your ads.txt and app-ads.txt from within WordPress, like any other content asset.
