Is PubGalaxy still running?
Not under its own name. Azerion bought PubGalaxy in 2021 and moved its publisher services under the Improve Digital name in September 2026. The pubgalaxy.com site now opens Improve Digital's site, so new publishers start there. Sites that already run PubGalaxy still name it in their ads.txt files, so we keep listing them here.
What does it take to join now?
Its current joining rules aren't public. The old guide moved to Improve Digital's site, so ask Improve Digital about traffic and content rules before you apply.
Do PubGalaxy's old pay terms still apply?
Not for certain. Its old terms set one minimum share for ads sold through its ad partners and a lower one for direct deals. Improve Digital's pages don't confirm either for new publishers, so ask for the terms you'd get.
What do you give up with PubGalaxy?
Under its old terms, you let it manage your ad inventory, and it could make changes to improve the reader experience. If you want full control of your layout, ask what you can still decide.
