What's new in Lkz Yield?

Design your rewarded prompts and content lockers with Kaz

Reward prompts and content lockers get real design controls, and Kaz can propose and edit them for you.

• Style it your way. Choose an icon, badge shape, button style, colors, and backdrop for your rewarded modal or content locker.
• Ask Kaz to design it. Kaz can propose a design and adjust it in conversation, with a live preview before you approve.

A lighter, faster ad script

The script that delivers your ads got lighter and smarter about when it does its work, so your pages load faster.

• Less blocking work up front. Background checks that used to run immediately on page load now happen just after the page has painted, instead of delaying it.
• Fewer requests. Analytics events are sent in batches instead of one request per ad, cutting down the chatter in the first seconds of a visit.
• Only what your site needs. Your ad script now includes only the pieces your rules actually use — a site that skips consent prompts, branding, or rewarded ads no longer ships that code.

More control over rewarded ads and lockers

Rewarded prompts and content lockers gained a new option and now sit properly on the page.

• Hide if closed. Turn on a setting so a rewarded prompt won't reappear for the rest of a visit once someone closes it without finishing the ad.
• Lockers that fit. A locker on a small element like a button now shows as a properly sized prompt beside it, instead of being squeezed inside it.
• More reliable unlocking. Locked content is found more reliably, so visitors are consistently prompted to unlock it.

A smoother, smarter video player

Your outstream video player got a full redesign, built around keeping the viewing experience clean and your engagement high.

• Controls that stay out of the way. Playback controls appear as an overlay when you hover, and an lkzAi tab sits alongside the player, so the video keeps its full natural shape.
• Follows your reader. The player floats along as visitors scroll past it and docks back into place, staying clear of the rest of your page the whole way.
• Plays for people who are reading. Video starts once a visitor scrolls or clicks, so your impressions come from engaged readers — and pages stay light on everyone else's device.

Review every placement on the page before you approve it

Review on page is always available and shows exactly what a page will carry.

• Open it anytime. Review on page sits in the top bar with a badge for pending proposals, so you can check any page whenever you like — not only right after Kaz proposes something.
• See what's already there. Ads already on the page show up alongside what's proposed, so you can judge the whole page at once, not just the new slot.
• Switch devices and follow links. Flip between the desktop and mobile versions of a captured page, or click through to check another page entirely.

Your ad revenue numbers update twice as often

Your Ad Exchange data now refreshes twice as often, so recent earnings reach your reports sooner.

Kaz checks its own work before you approve it

Kaz gained three ways to be more careful with your site — simulating rules, remembering your preferences, and checking whether a change is actually working.

• See who a rule really reaches. Kaz can simulate a proposed rule against a real visitor and show exactly which conditions matched, or why they didn't, before you approve it.
• Kaz remembers what you tell it. Mention a preference once, like keeping ads away from your masthead, and Kaz holds onto it for future conversations.
• Know if a change is live. Ask Kaz to check whether an approved rule or placement is actually running on your site.

Undo a change you've applied

Roll back a rule edit, an archive, or a new rule or placement right from the Changes list — you see exactly what's changing before you approve it, the same as any other update.

A redesigned Kaz, with evidence you can trust

Kaz's chat got a cleaner look and became far more careful about the numbers it shows you.

• A calmer, clearer chat. New waiting states, inline citations, and a simplified proposal review make conversations easier to follow.
• No more invented numbers. Kaz only states figures it actually pulled from your data, and says so plainly when a result is empty instead of showing a false zero.
• Replies land without the lag. Kaz settles into its answer noticeably faster, with far fewer stuck loading states.

Know when your payout is on its way

You'll get an email the moment your payout is marked paid, showing the amount, the revenue month, and how you're being paid, with a link straight to your payments page.

A tidier, more consistent workspace

Your Sites, Tags, Ads.txt, Rules, and Appearance pages now share one clean, consistent layout.

• Find sites faster. Search and filter your sites list by network status, delivery, and ads.txt setup.
• Tags, redesigned. Your tags page now matches the clean, card-based look of your rules page, with quicker copy and status controls.

Faster rule updates, and new anchor ad controls

Rule and setting changes now reach your visitors within the hour, and anchor ads gained new options.

• Edits reach visitors faster. A rule or setting change reaches every returning visitor within an hour, instead of taking up to a day.
• Your head code stays put. The install snippet on your site no longer changes each time you update a setting, so there's nothing to re-paste.
• Anchor ads can dock top or bottom. Set anchor position as a rule action instead of it always defaulting to the bottom of the screen.
• Go bigger with anchor ads. Choose a larger anchor size when you want more visible space — it stays within safe screen limits automatically.

One placement, every matching spot on the page

A managed placement can now repeat automatically across every element that matches its selector, instead of needing one placement per spot.

• Set it once. Add a repeat count to a placement and it fills every matching spot on the page — no more creating near-identical placements by hand.
• Works with header bidding too. Repeating placements insert the same way whether your site runs standard tags or the header bidding wrapper.

Go live faster after approval

Once Google approves your site, everything needed to start serving ads is set up automatically — no more waiting on a manual step.

Faster, more reliable page loading in the Workbench

Opening a page to review or place ads used to take up to a minute and could stall out entirely. Now it loads in a few seconds.

• No more stuck spinners. A capture that used to hang on “Capturing…” indefinitely now recovers on its own instead of leaving you waiting.
• Seconds instead of a minute. Page previews that used to take up to a minute and a half typically load in a few seconds.

Know when your ads actually start running

You'll now get an email the moment your site starts serving ads.

• No more silent launches. Sites that don't go through Google's review now get an email as soon as ads start, instead of no notice at all.
• You'll know what changed. If your site was already earning while Google reviewed it, the email you get on approval explains that fuller demand just switched on, instead of repeating the original note.

Smarter consent, matched to your visitor's country

Consent prompts are now tailored to where each visitor is, instead of one blanket message for everyone.

• Consent shown where it's required. Visitors in the EU and Brazil see a consent message automatically, based on their country.
• Make it look like your site. Set the colors and privacy links your consent message uses, so it doesn't look like a bolted-on popup.

Compare your reports across ad networks

When it's turned on for your account, your impression, click, and eCPM figures can be shown on the same basis your other ad partners use — your revenue itself never changes.

Analytics that work from day one

You no longer have to wait for approval to see how your site is doing.

• Track traffic before you're approved. Historical and live analytics now include your site while it's still under review, not just after.
• See your domain mix. Analytics home shows how your traffic breaks down across your domains and subdomains.

Earn from the publishers you refer

The Referrals page lets you earn from the publishers you bring to Lkz.

• Get your own link. Your Referrals page gives you a shareable link, and you can set a custom one of your choosing.
• Keep earning, not just once. You earn 10% of Lkz's share from every publisher who joins with your link, for as long as they stay active — it shows up right in your payments.

A nudge when your ads.txt needs attention

We can now send you a quick reminder if your ads.txt file is missing entries or incomplete, with a direct link to fix it.

Extra demand for the ad space Google leaves empty

Header bidding now competes for the slots your other demand leaves unfilled — and you can see what it earns.

• Fills the gaps other demand misses. When a slot would otherwise sit blank, header bidding brings in its own bidders to fill it.
• Track it in your reports. Header Bidding shows up as its own source in Reports, so you can see what it's contributing.

Start earning while Google reviews your site

A new site no longer has to sit idle waiting on Google.

• No dead time while you wait. Header bidding can fill your slots and earn revenue while your site is still in Google's review, instead of showing nothing.
• It keeps running afterwards. Once your site is approved, header bidding stays on as extra demand alongside Google rather than switching off.

Mgid revenue now shows up in your reports

Earnings from Mgid native widgets now flow into your regular reports and payments, right alongside everything else.

• No separate report to hunt for. Mgid revenue is folded into your existing dashboard and monthly payment figures automatically.
• See what's actually paying you. Reports break the earnings down by widget size, so it isn't just one lump number.

Report columns get plain-English names

Report columns now read as Pageviews, Sessions, and RPM instead of technical labels — any saved report views keep working automatically.

See your Mgid widgets on the Tags page

Sites running Mgid native widgets can now see them listed on the Tags page, with a ready-to-copy placement snippet for each one.

Get paid your way

Payouts got easier to set up, with a new transfer option and clearer guidance on choosing one.

• Choose local bank transfer. Publishers in the EU and Pakistan can now get paid straight to a local bank account, alongside USDT, PayPal, ACH and Wise/Payoneer.
• Know which option suits you. The payout page explains the difference between ACH and Fedwire and how to use a Wise or Payoneer virtual bank account, with each method's logo alongside it.

Kaz can dig into your analytics and run experiments

Kaz now works with your audience analytics and experiments directly in chat, backed by evidence you can open and check.

• Ask about your audience. Kaz can query your analytics and cites exactly where each figure came from.
• Run experiments from chat. Propose, launch, pause, or promote a winning experiment without leaving the conversation.

See why a site was rejected

When a site doesn't pass network review, you'll now see exactly why — a clear reason, whether from our review or Google's own verdict, right on your site's status banner.

Earn when paid ads fill your empty slots

When Google can't fill a slot, direct advertisers can now fill it instead — and your share of that revenue lands automatically in your reports.

• You get paid your usual rate. Your revenue share applies the moment the ad runs, at the rate set for your site.
• It's already in your dashboard. This revenue folds straight into your existing reports and payments — nothing new to check.

Cleaner, more honest traffic numbers

We rebuilt how sessions, users, and time on page are calculated — expect reported numbers to shift as phantom and bot traffic drops out, in exchange for figures you can trust.

• Real sessions and users. Sessions and users are counted directly instead of estimated from hourly slices, so long date ranges no longer double-count the same returning visitor.
• Phantom traffic is gone. Pages a browser silently pre-loads but a visitor never actually sees no longer count as pageviews.
• Honest time on page. Average time on page reflects real, visible time on screen, so quick visits show up as quick.

Run A/B tests on your ad setup

A new experiments module lets you put two ideas head to head on a real rule and let your traffic pick the winner.

• Test any rule. Attach an experiment to any rule — even your default — and visitors are split into variants automatically.
• Change exactly what you're testing. A variant can adjust the rule's actions, switch managed placements on or off, and fine-tune placement settings.
• Know when you have a winner. Each variant gets its own performance read-out with a confidence label, and a Promote button unlocks once there's enough traffic to call it.
• Stop a bad test early. An optional guardrail pauses an experiment on its own if a variant slips too far behind, with the reason shown.

A guided start for new publishers

Getting set up is now a clear, friendly path.

• A setup checklist. We walk you through sharing your Google details, adding your first site, and accepting your invite — and step aside once you're up and running.
• Connect with Google. Link your Google Ad Manager account and pick your network from a searchable list, or enter the details yourself.
• Nothing slips through. Sites you add before your account is ready wait safely with a clear status and go live the moment setup is complete.

See how your ads actually perform

Analytics grows beyond audience into a full view of how your ads are delivering.

• Flip to ad delivery. A new toggle switches your Analytics between audience and ad metrics — fill rate, viewability, requests per pageview, and rewards.
• Spot missed revenue. Revenue-leak detection and a viewability-versus-demand chart highlight where there's money left on the table.
• Drill into a slot. Open any ad slot to see its fill and viewability alongside the revenue tied to it.
• Compare with similar pages. See how a page's earnings stack up against the typical page like it.

Faster, smoother dashboards and reports

Your Analytics, Dashboards, and Reports now feel instant.

• Pages paint right away. The page frame shows immediately and content streams in with tidy placeholders, instead of waiting for everything to load at once.
• Fresh without refreshing. Analytics updates on its own as new data arrives — no manual reloads.

A clearer rule editor

The “what changes when this rule matches” section was rebuilt around cause and effect.

• Related settings stay together. Turning a setting on expands it in place and tucks the options it unlocks right underneath.
• Know what a toggle does first. A setting that's off tells you what it would reveal before you flip it.
• Live as you edit. Every control reflects its real value as you work, and any setting you've changed is clearly marked with a one-tap reset.

A faster Turbo mode for Kaz

• Turbo answers. A new Turbo speed handles questions and advice instantly and only brings in the heavier model when there's real work to do — creating, changing, or archiving. Choose Turbo, Fast, or High.
• Clearer when something goes wrong. If Kaz can't finish, the message is now clear and explains the issue or follow-up.

The AI Workbench on your phone

Both Kaz chat and the page preview now work on mobile, with slide-in panels, full-width previews, and controls you can actually reach. Desktop is unchanged.

Friendlier emails when your site's status changes

Site approval and rejection emails were redesigned to match the dashboard. Approvals celebrate the news and walk you through going live; rejections explain calmly what to change, with support a click away.

A lighter, cleaner look across the app

• Brighter, flatter pages. Gray header bars and all-caps labels give way to clean white cards and plain sentence case across dashboards, reports, settings, tags, and rules.
• Fill rate for admins, too. The match-rate (“Fill”) column is now available in admin reports.

Sharper page-type detection

We're much better at recognising what each page is — article, listing, homepage, legal, and more — so your rules can target page types reliably and your analytics group cleanly. Rules now use a single, clear “Page type” condition in place of two overlapping ones.

Richer, interactive charts

Charts across your reports, Analytics, and dashboards were rebuilt to do more.

• Explore as you go. Drill down, zoom, and toggle series right inside the chart.
• Compare periods. Overlay current versus prior periods to see exactly what changed.
• Smoother with big data. Large datasets render faster and cleaner.

A cleaner way to get around

Navigation moves to a collapsible left sidebar in place of the old top bar.

• Collapse it to focus. Shrink the sidebar down to an icon rail — it remembers your choice.
• Built for mobile. A slide-in menu and quick dashboard access on smaller screens.
• Account tucked away. Your profile and log-out now live in a tidy footer menu.

Kaz keeps getting better

Two upgrades make Kaz easier to follow and sharper with its advice.

• Watch Kaz work. While it works through a plan, Kaz now narrates each step in plain language — so the longer pauses become readable progress instead of a silent “Working” badge.
• Focused on your top pages. Kaz now weighs your real traffic and revenue when mapping a site, so its suggestions center on the pages that actually matter.

A cleaner, more consistent workspace

Every dashboard page — publisher and admin — now shares one refined layout, header style, and button set, with more room to work.

• One consistent look. Page headers and buttons are unified across the app, so everything feels of a piece.
• More breathing room. Content stretches wider on large screens.
• Better date controls. Dashboards now use the same polished date-range picker — presets and custom ranges — as Reports.

More detail in your reports

Reporting now recognizes more of your traffic with support for a larger set of devices and countries.

Introducing the AI Workbench

A major new way to optimize your sites arrives in early access: the AI Workbench studies a page's layout, recommends where ads should go, and can generate the rules to put them there.

• It understands your pages. The workbench captures and analyzes your site's structure to find strong placement opportunities.
• Managed placements, suggested for you. AI-generated ad slots that target the right spots and render responsively.
• Preview before you commit. See proposed placements on a live preview of your actual page before anything goes out.
• Review on your terms. Step through proposals in a threaded review and approve them one at a time or all at once — then keep iterating. Open the workbench from any site page.

Plan your ad setup with Kaz

The workbench gains Plan mode — a conversation with Kaz, your AI assistant, who works through your goals with you, asks clarifying questions, and proposes placements you can approve right in the chat.

• A plan that sticks. Your plan is saved as you go, with changes tracked and approved as you refine them.
• Backed by evidence. Inline citations link each proposal to the pages, rules, and reports behind it.
• Bring in references. Pull saved reports and specific pages into the chat to ground the plan in your real data.

Sign in with Google

You can now sign in with Google and link a Google account to your profile — and connect your Google Ad Manager network the same way.

Your reporting, now programmable

Reporting opens up for programmatic and shareable access.

• API access with scoped keys. Create and revoke API keys from your profile — limited to just report reading or saved-view management — and pull your reports over the new reporting API.
• Share a report by link. A report's setup now lives in its URL, so you can hand a teammate the exact view you're looking at.
• Connect it to AI tools. A new reporting connection lets AI assistants query your reports directly.

Custom ad size profiles

Define your own reusable ad size profiles for any site or app.

• Build once, reuse everywhere. Create size sets with responsive breakpoints, then apply them across your tags and placements.
• Find sizes fast. A searchable picker makes choosing dimensions quick.

Stronger account protection

We added bot protection to sign-up and password reset and layered smarter rate limits on login, keeping your account safer without getting in your way.

Focused Banners for display tags (Beta)

A new beta option for display tags that pauses surrounding content while an ad is engaged — keeping attention where you want it. Available from the refreshed tag setup screen.

Kaz gets faster and easier to follow

Kaz gets a big upgrade to how it works alongside you.

• Replies that stream in. Kaz's responses appear live as they're written, so there's no blank wait between turns.
• One place to review. A pending-proposals inbox groups everything Kaz suggests — approve items one by one or all at once, with detailed review drawers and inline placement editing.
• Jump straight to the evidence. Quick-action pills under each reply take you to the exact report, rule, or placement it touched — and you can export any cited report as CSV, XLSX, or PDF.
• More natural conversations. Kaz can ask focused clarifying questions and work from what you want without needing to capture a page first.

Reporting grows up

Reporting becomes one unified workspace, with delivery and exports built right in.

• Scheduled delivery. Have a saved report emailed to you on a recurring cadence.
• Exports without the wait. Large or PDF exports run in the background and arrive by email with a secure download link; smaller ones still download instantly.
• Pull it via API. A built-in request explorer generates the endpoint, body, and ready-to-run cURL for any report.
• Better date control. A presets-plus-custom date-range picker, drilldown breadcrumbs, and a compare baseline.

Your traffic, in real time

A brand-new Analytics dashboard gives you a first-party view of how your sites actually perform — built on Lkz's own analytics rather than third-party tracking.

• A live pulse. A real-time tile shows pageviews updating by the minute.
• Find the revenue you're missing. A monetization gap finder and top-URL breakdowns surface where there's room to grow.
• Slice it your way. Trends, country, device and subdomain breakdowns, an hour-of-day heatmap, “new URLs today”, and per-URL drill-in.

Brand your rewarded ad prompts

Make the rewarded ad experience your own instead of a generic pop-up.

• Design it to match your site. Set the icon, heading, text, button, and accent color, and save reusable designs on a new Appearance page.
• Let visitors opt out. Optionally allow closing the rewarded prompt without watching.
• Apply per rule. Choose which design shows for which targeting rule.

Even lighter ad tags

We shrank the ad code delivered to your sites even further — generated bundles are now roughly 40% smaller, for faster page loads.

A clearer way to control your ad rules

Site rules got a ground-up redesign around a simpler idea: every setting has a sensible default, and your custom rules only ever change what you actually want to be different — no more guessing what a rule is really doing.

• Default vs. your change, at a glance. Each setting shows its baseline and flags when a custom value happens to match the default anyway, so you never end up with rules that quietly do nothing.
• Drag to reorder. Set rule priority by dragging, instead of juggling priority numbers.
• Context-aware options. Related settings now appear only when they're relevant — for example, reward-locker options show up once you choose a lockable rewarded format — and sit neatly under the setting they belong to.
• Live feedback while you edit. Loading cues, instant toggles, and a sticky rule title that follows along as you type.

Preview how a rule will treat a visitor

Before you commit a rule, you can now simulate a visitor and see exactly which rules and actions would apply to them.

• Test any scenario. Paste or build a URL and visitor context, then watch the per-condition breakdown and the resulting actions.
• Save scenarios. Keep your common test setups as presets to re-run whenever you change a rule.

Faster, more hands-on support

We added behind-the-scenes tooling that lets our team step into your view to review your performance and spot issues directly — so when you reach out, we can diagnose and resolve things noticeably faster.

A refreshed Sites and Tags workspace

Your Sites and Tags pages were rebuilt into a cleaner, faster space for managing your inventory.

• Everything about a site in one view. Approval status, open issues, and setup details now sit together on the site overview.
• Simpler tag setup. Clearer placement and embed code with one-tap copy.
• ads.txt, sorted. A dedicated page to check, verify, and copy your ads.txt lines.

Bring your mobile apps into Lkz Yield

Lkz Yield expands beyond websites — you can now add and manage mobile apps right alongside your sites.

• A home for your apps. Add apps with their store details and IDs, manage app tags, and grab SDK snippets, all in one new Apps area.
• One unified inventory. Apps and sites share the same approval and management flow, so there's nothing new to learn.

A new publisher dashboard

Your dashboard got a full redesign built around the numbers you check first.

• The essentials up top. Key metrics as quick-read tiles, with a performance trend chart right below.
• Find a site fast. Search your inventory straight from the dashboard.
• Better on mobile. Spacing and layout refined across the experience.

Reports, redesigned

Reports moved into a cleaner workspace with more control over how you slice your data.

• Save your views. Keep frequently used report setups and switch between them from a Views menu.
• Organized filters. Collapsible, card-style filter sections that also work well on mobile.
• Clearer charts. Group by a primary and secondary dimension, with combined labels so the data reads at a glance.

A clearer Payments page

Your Payments page was rebuilt so where you stand is obvious at a glance.

• Status front and center. A summary strip shows total paid, what's pending, and your latest payment.
• Full history. A ledger-style view of every past payment.
• A tidier profile, too. Account settings were reorganized into a cleaner, icon-led layout.

A fresh sign-in experience

We redesigned the login, registration, and password-reset pages for a cleaner first impression.

Lighter, faster ad tags

We trimmed the ad code delivered to your sites so a page only loads what it actually needs — keeping your pages quick.

Video ads arrive

On top of the launch, video joins the lineup: run in-stream and out-stream video units on your sites, with a player tuned to keep fill high and the viewing experience clean.

Lkz Yield is live

Lkz Yield is out of beta and open to publishers — bringing your sites, ad setup, and billing together in one dashboard.

• Your billing in one place. See your finalized earnings from previous months without leaving the platform.
