Easy way to add Analytics categories to WordPress site

londonblue

Is there an easy way to add categories for Ezoic analytics to my WordPress site. I'd likely just implement a meta tag but this needs to be generated within WordPress. I have a plugin which can add to the header and I would initially likely just use my current site categories, but not sure how to implement this.

We typically gather things like post categories and author data from JSON-LD files, which is pretty standard - however, we can search for meta tags with this info as well, and pull in data that way. I'll leave a guide with more info below:

Hi,

That's fine but as far as I am aware WordPress does not include this kind of data by default. The guide is not useful for a WordPress specific scenario, hence my question.

londonblue There's several plugins which allow you to create category metatags, including most SEO plugins. Alternatively you can just add the metatags to the header.php file in the site's header. Once you've added those Ezoic Analytics will begin reporting on the category data.

OK I'll have to reacquaint myself with the WP backend again. I don't want to add a SEO plugin as I no longer see their benefit for the performance hit, given how advanced Google etc. now is.

How I add category tag in my Blogger site for Article Content Reports in Big Data Analytics

muhiuddinalam we don't tend to advise on how to make changes to your original code as it's not part of the Ezoic service, but I did do a little research and you may find something in one of these threads:

no, you didn't understand. I want to say in your site a blog post and that is --
How does Ezoic pull information for Article Content Reports in Big Data Analytics?
In the above post, your blog post shows with example of how to add the 'Categories' metadata.
So now my query is How can I use metadata on the Blogger site?
I have many categories, so how do I add metadata?
give me a suggestion.

muhiuddinalam It's not clear what you are referring to.
"So now my query is How can I use metadata on the Blogger site?"

If you are asking how to add meta data to a Blogger post, that's what Emily shared previously.

muhiuddinalam It's described in this Ezoic article: https://support.ezoic.com/kb/article/how-does-ezoic-pull-information-for-article-content-reports-in-big-data-analytics -> bottom of the page

As for specific Blogger guidelines, you will want to refer to what was posted previously. That being said, Blogger can be more restrictive than other platforms. It's possible that they are limiting available meta tag options for their publishers.
