Domain crash or “silent” revenue leak, what’s the difference, and why does it matter?

Most domain issues don’t look like downtime. They show up as unstable EPC, random conversion drops, or sudden shifts in lead quality. And by the time you notice, the budget is already gone.

We broke down how teams spot domain incidents early and avoid downtime with Domain Rotation + Telegram/Slack alerts in Marksel

May is turning into a busy month for the conference season. Next on the list for the Marksel team is AffPapa Conference in Madrid, May 18–20

This time, Artem Butov, CEO of Marksel, will be attending the event to meet partners, affiliate teams, and industry friends in Madrid.

For us, conferences have never been just about booths or presentations. They’re one of the few places where affiliate networks, media buying teams, advertisers, and tech providers can step away from dashboards and Telegram chats to have real conversations about what’s happening in the industry right now.

And this year, those conversations feel especially important.

Performance marketing is changing fast:

  • platforms are becoming stricter
  • tracking infrastructure is getting more complex
  • traffic flows are more fragile than before
  • and teams are looking for ways to scale without losing visibility or control
That’s exactly why we’re excited for AffPapa Conference this year.

We’re looking forward to reconnecting with partners, meeting new teams, and exchanging real operational experience with people who are actively running traffic today.

If you’ll be in Madrid too, let’s connect.
See you at AffPapa

Top API Tracking Tools for Affiliate Marketing in 2026

As affiliate marketing becomes increasingly automated, API-driven tracking and traffic management platforms are no longer a nice-to-have—they're becoming essential infrastructure.

Affiliate networks, advertisers, and media buying teams need more than basic tracking. They need platforms that can automate traffic distribution, integrate with partners through APIs, optimize routing, and provide real-time visibility into performance.

In this article, we'll review some of the most popular API tracking and traffic management solutions in 2026 using the same evaluation criteria for each platform.

Final Thoughts

There is no single "best" platform for every business.

Media buyers often prioritize tracking speed and campaign analytics. Advertisers typically focus on attribution and reporting. Affiliate networks need partner management and automation. Meanwhile, traffic-focused businesses increasingly require advanced routing, Smartlinks, API integrations, and operational automation.

The right choice ultimately depends on your business model, team structure, and growth goals. Before selecting a platform, evaluate not only tracking capabilities but also how well the solution supports automation, traffic distribution, and long-term scalability.
