🤝 What Galaksion Offers

With about 7,000 attendees, day one was “so crowded” and hot. Kirill was full of energy. 🔥

He described Galaksion’s three key points:

• 👨‍👩‍👧 Client service: “Our account managers treat you like family,” 24/7
• 🎯 The best offers across verticals like VPNs, antivirus and utilities
• 🧼 The cleanest traffic sources, backed by an anti-fraud system

When he joined seven years ago, the company had 30–35 people and felt like a family. They decided clients should feel the same way. 💛

🛡️ The Two-Step Anti-Fraud System

Kirill spent the past year working on Galaksion’s anti-fraud system:

• ⚡ Real-time: every impression is evaluated to decide whether it’s fraud, and good impressions are separated from bad ones, like old impressions from old users
• 📊 Post-analysis: every 30 minutes to 4 hours, whole sources are reviewed to decide whether they’re good for each vertical and where the traffic should go

For 2025, he teased anti-fraud version two, new audience targeting, and more surprises, likely before Affiliate World Dubai. 🎁

🤖 ChatGPT and AI in the Business

AI is like looking out of a high-speed train in Japan: things move so fast you can barely see them, but it will be integrated into every step of business. 🚄

His team uses AI for creatives, text, data, and even coding. Instead of checking hundreds of lines of code, “ChatGPT, please help me.” For analytics, ChatGPT is his favorite. The design and marketing teams use Midjourney and others. 💻

Galaksion also plans AI tools inside its SSP platform so partners can generate text, images and more. 🛠️

🌏 Top Verticals and GEOs

Trends depend on the vertical, so it’s hard to generalize. Galaksion is focusing on its top verticals, VPN, utilities and antivirus, and on providing the best service. 📱

Top GEOs include India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam, plus the US for tier one. Traffic is worldwide. Offers that work well include VPNs, software, e-commerce extensions and apps. 🗺️

They plan to attend Dubai, Barcelona, Bangkok again, and other main conferences. For another ad network perspective, read my conversation with Adsterra’s Daria. 🔗

⚖️ Work-Life Balance and His Best Advice

His secret to balance: “My wife.” Ten years ago he worked about 20 hours a day. When you enter affiliate marketing, “you should be ready to work a lot.” Balance only comes after many years, once you have a team and processes. ⏰

His advice for newcomers: try everything yourself.

• 🛒 Buy some traffic
• 💸 Sell some traffic
• 🎯 Find offers
• 📈 Set up a tracker and analyze your traffic
