I have been on Hubpages with AdSense for years. I like getting the monetary trickle my ads have in conjunction with the site traffic. I got an email yesterday or this morning from AdSense expressing that I am at risk of not getting anymore ad payments if a technical issue is not resolved. After logging into AdSense to see what this was about, I was immediately given a red banner across the top of my AdSense Dashboard telling me that I did not have a file named "ads.txt" on my site. If this issue does not get resolved, I am at risk of not serving ads, and therefore I woun't get ad revenue.
So, as I am an content author, and not a site host or web master for my content here on HubPages (and HowTheyPlay), how do I put this file on my page?
I wanted to bring this up to HubPage staff, and I found a page under Help that says that technical questions and support are only done through email, but I was not provided an email to contact. If someone can point me towards support, that would be great too.
Without monetization, my draw to this product all but disappears. I don't make a habit of authoring and curating content which takes hours at a time, just to give it all away.
Thanks
Go here https://howtheyplay.com/ads.txt and see if you can find your publisher ID. Use ctrl+f or cmd+f to find it. If it's there you should be good to go.
This may not actually be an issue. After closer inspection of all the sites I have in my AdSense, there was an old Domain I no longer have hosted anywhere. I have removed it, and I will see if I that will quite the AdSense warnings I am getting.

First off, I reached 1/2 of my payout today, so that is very exciting! Thank you all for the advice so far, but I am in need of more. I am a little concerned, because I earned from two clicks this morning from a very low traffic hub. I thought that was really weird when I saw how much I had earned...
