When adding your website to Google AdSense, you may come across the message: “URL must be a valid top-level domain. Did you mean to enter: http://domain.com?” Let’s clarify, this isn’t an error, but it indicates that something is off the way you’ve entered your site URL.
How to Fix the “Valid Top-Level Domain” Issue?
- Log in to your AdSense account
- Go to Sites > Add Site
- Enter your domain correctly (e.g., hextoid.com, not http://www.hextoid.com or https://)
- Make sure your domain is verified and publicly accessible
- Proceed with the site setup
Wrap Up
This message is just a prompt to, not a rejection from Google. So ensure you’re entering the domain correctly without any unnecessary prefixes like “http://” or “www.”. Once corrected, you’ll be able to proceed with the AdSense approval process smoothly.
