Every line naming outbrain.com is looked up in its sellers.json. What each status means

Common errors with outbrain.com lines

  • Seller ID not found 118,298 lines

    Ask outbrain.com for the account ID it lists for you in its sellers.json, correct the line, or remove it if you no longer work with them. Buyers that check sellers.json drop these paths.

  • Seller type BOTH 4,849 lines

    The account is listed as BOTH, so sellers.json alone cannot tell a buyer which relationship applies. Nothing to fix on your side; buyers usually look at the seller's domain.

  • RESELLER but publisher 88 lines

    If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask outbrain.com why the account is listed as PUBLISHER.

  • DIRECT but intermediary 77 lines

    If a partner holds this account and resells your inventory, the line should say RESELLER. If the account is yours, ask outbrain.com to list it as PUBLISHER.

Common app-ads.txt errors and how to fix them

Intermediaries most declared as RESELLER
