OpenX retains top spot as the #1 independent exchange listed on comScore 1000 ads.txt files<\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK<\/strong> \u2014 31 January 2018 \u2014 OpenX, the world\u2019s leading independent advertising technology provider, today announced the results of an audit of the nation\u2019s top 1000 publishers, revealing that a majority have now adopted ads.txt, a method for denoting who is approved to sell their inventory. The company has strongly supported the growth of ads.txt since the initiative was first launched, and for the second consecutive month, OpenX is the #1 independent exchange listed as an authorized seller among comScore top 1000 publishers (#2 overall behind Google).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenX also announced that it is the first major global exchange that will block all reseller traffic that is not authorized on a publisher\u2019s ads.txt file from entering its exchange. By applying strict ads.txt compliance to the exchange, buyers and DSPs will no longer have to take inventory validation into their own hands and can trust that all inventory flowing through OpenX is authorized by the publisher in instances where an ads.txt file is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnforcing a strict ads.txt compliance protocol is just another way OpenX is actively working to curate the highest quality marketplace for advertisers looking to access premium inventory,\u201d said John Murphy, head of marketplace quality at OpenX. \u201cAds.txt is bringing the industry one step closer to being fraud-free, and the rapid adoption of this initiative highlights the need in the market for solutions like these while building confidence in the value of programmatic overall. We encourage publishers and advertisers to push for mass adoption of standards, like ads.txt, that allow them to hold their technology partners accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up from just 7% in August 2017, ads.txt adoption rates now exceed 50% of the comScore top 1000 publishers, and several major DSPs and buyers have already announced that they will no longer buy inventory that isn\u2019t authorized in a publisher\u2019s ads.txt file. OpenX will begin implementing strict ads.txt compliance in the coming weeks and by the end of Q1 all reseller traffic that is not ads.txt-authorized will automatically be blocked from the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe level of domain counterfeiting we are seeing across the digital landscape today is staggering. Ads.txt represents the first industry initiative that has put control back into publishers\u2019 hands to combat this issue,\u201d said Jana Meron, senior vice president of programmatic and data strategy at Business Insider. \u201cPublishers have been in search of a proactive solution for ensuring our inventory is being represented and sold at its true value in programmatic marketplaces, and ads.txt provides that. While it isn\u2019t a silver bullet, it is a huge step in the right direction, and to be fully effective we need the entire ecosystem to follow in the footsteps of OpenX and implement changes to honor ads.txt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ads.txt is an industry initiative created by the IAB to address serious quality and fraud concerns stemming from the unauthorized reselling and counterfeiting of publisher inventory. It offers a simple and secure method for publishers to publicly declare the companies they trust to sell their digital inventory, creating greater transparency in the digital media supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
