Delivery Options

Quora Pixel Base Code

Direct Implementation

Install the Quora Pixel base code in the <head> section of all pages:

<!-- Quora Pixel Base Code -->
<script>
!function(q,e,v,n,t,s){if(q.qp) return; n=q.qp=function(){n.qp?n.qp.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments);}; n.queue=[];t=document.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v; s=document.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s);}(window, 'script', 'https://a.quora.com/qevents.js');
qp('init', 'PIXEL_ID');
qp('track', 'ViewContent');
</script>
<noscript>
<img height="1" width="1" style="display:none" src="https://q.quora.com/_/ad/PIXEL_ID/pixel?tag=ViewContent&noscript=1"/>
</noscript>
<!-- End Quora Pixel Base Code -->

Replace PIXEL_ID with your actual Quora Pixel ID from Ads Manager.

Base Code Components

  • qp('init', 'PIXEL_ID'): Initializes the pixel with your ID
  • qp('track', 'ViewContent'): Tracks page views
  • <noscript>: Fallback for browsers with JavaScript disabled

Event Tracking

Generic Event

Track custom events on specific pages:

<script>
qp('track', 'Generic');
</script>

Purchase Event

Track completed purchases:

<script>
qp('track', 'Purchase', {
  'value': '99.99',
  'currency': 'USD',
  'order_id': 'ORDER_12345'
});
</script>

Lead Event

Track form submissions:

<script>
qp('track', 'GenerateLead', {
  'lead_type': 'contact_form',
  'value': '50.00'
});
</script>

Complete Registration

Track user signups:

<script>
qp('track', 'CompleteRegistration', {
  'registration_method': 'email'
});
</script>

Google Tag Manager Implementation

Create Quora Pixel Base Tag

  1. Create new tag: Custom HTML
  2. Name: "Quora Pixel - Base Code"
  3. Paste base code:
<script>
!function(q,e,v,n,t,s){if(q.qp) return; n=q.qp=function(){n.qp?n.qp.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments);}; n.queue=[];t=document.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v; s=document.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s);}(window, 'script', 'https://a.quora.com/qevents.js');
qp('init', '{{Quora Pixel ID}}');
qp('track', 'ViewContent');
</script>
  1. Trigger: All Pages
  2. Firing Priority: 1 (load before other tags)

Create GTM Variable for Pixel ID

  1. Create new variable: Constant
  2. Name: "Quora Pixel ID"
  3. Value: Your Pixel ID (e.g., abc123def456)

Create Event Tags

Purchase Event Tag:

<script>
qp('track', 'Purchase', {
  'value': '{{Transaction Value}}',
  'currency': '{{Currency}}',
  'order_id': '{{Transaction ID}}'
});
</script>

Trigger: Custom Event - purchase

Lead Event Tag:

<script>
qp('track', 'GenerateLead', {
  'lead_type': '{{Form Name}}',
  'value': '50.00'
});
</script>

Trigger: Form Submission - All Forms

Advanced Implementation

Dynamic Event Parameters

<script>
function trackQuoraEvent(eventName, eventData) {
  if (typeof qp !== 'undefined') {
    qp('track', eventName, eventData);
  } else {
    console.error('Quora Pixel not loaded');
  }
}

// Usage
trackQuoraEvent('Purchase', {
  value: orderTotal,
  currency: 'USD',
  order_id: orderId,
  product_ids: productIds
});
</script>

Conditional Loading

Load pixel only with user consent:

<script>
// Check for consent
if (window.cookieConsent && window.cookieConsent.advertising) {
  // Load Quora Pixel
  !function(q,e,v,n,t,s){if(q.qp) return; n=q.qp=function(){n.qp?n.qp.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments);}; n.queue=[];t=document.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v; s=document.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s);}(window, 'script', 'https://a.quora.com/qevents.js');
  qp('init', 'PIXEL_ID');
  qp('track', 'ViewContent');
} else {
  console.log('Quora Pixel blocked - no consent');
}
</script>

Custom Audiences with Email

Email List Upload

Collect hashed emails for custom audience creation:

// Hash email client-side before sending
async function hashEmail(email) {
  const msgBuffer = new TextEncoder().encode(email.toLowerCase().trim());
  const hashBuffer = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', msgBuffer);
  const hashArray = Array.from(new Uint8Array(hashBuffer));
  const hashHex = hashArray.map(b => b.toString(16).padStart(2, '0')).join('');
  return hashHex;
}

// Track with hashed email
async function trackWithEmail(email) {
  const hashedEmail = await hashEmail(email);

  qp('track', 'Generic', {
    'em': hashedEmail
  });
}

// Usage on confirmation page
trackWithEmail('user@example.com');

Mobile App Integration

Quora doesn't have a native mobile SDK. Use Mobile Measurement Partners:

AppsFlyer Integration

// iOS - Track Quora attribution via AppsFlyer
import AppsFlyerLib

AppsFlyerLib.shared().logEvent("af_purchase", withValues: [
    AFEventParamRevenue: 99.99,
    AFEventParamCurrency: "USD",
    AFEventParamOrderId: "ORDER_12345",
    "af_channel": "quora"
])

Adjust Integration

// Android - Track Quora attribution via Adjust
val event = AdjustEvent("abc123")
event.setRevenue(99.99, "USD")
event.addCallbackParameter("network", "quora")
event.addCallbackParameter("order_id", "ORDER_12345")
Adjust.trackEvent(event)

Testing & Validation

Quora Pixel Helper

  1. Install Quora Pixel Helper Chrome extension
  2. Navigate to your website
  3. Click extension icon
  4. Verify pixel is active and events fire

Browser Console

// Check if Quora Pixel loaded
if (typeof qp !== 'undefined') {
  console.log('✓ Quora Pixel loaded');
} else {
  console.error('✗ Quora Pixel not loaded');
}

// Track test event
qp('track', 'Generic', {test: true});

Network Tab Verification

  1. Open Developer Tools → Network tab
  2. Filter by "quora"
  3. Look for requests to a.quora.com or q.quora.com
  4. Verify event parameters in request payload

Validation Checklist

  • Base code loads on all pages
  • Pixel ID is correct
  • ViewContent event fires on page load
  • Conversion events fire at correct moments
  • Event parameters pass correct data
  • NoScript fallback implemented
  • Consent management integrated
  • Test with Quora Pixel Helper
  • Verify events in Quora Events Manager
  • Custom audiences populate (wait 24-48 hours)
