Googlebot does not find ads.txt file

Question

I'm trying to get google adsense on my website, but every time google crawls my website it says that the ads.txt status is "not found." I can view the ads.txt file on many accounts by going to my website (intellical.ca/ads.txt) (Please tell me also if putting my website name is disallowed and I'll take it down)

How can I make it so that the google crawler can find ads.txt?

I've tried everything: Double checking the ads.txt file checking I spelt everything right checking the publisher ID and making sure the crawler can access my site. Nothing seems to have worked and I have asked Google six times to recheck the website and each time it comes back the same way.

Answer 1

Your ads.txt file is OK. Do not worry. This has nothing to do with adsense acceptance.

Answer 2

If you are using CloudFlare, then CloudFlare is blocking the Google bot which crawled "ads.txt".

How to fix: Allow the bot UserAgent "Google-adstxt"
