Q

What is not a benefit of Google Analytics Remarketing?

  • Show customized ads to customers who have previously visited your site
  • Allow customers to quickly reorder an item they have previously purchased
  • Create remarketing lists based on custom segments and targets
  • Create remarketing lists without making changes to your existing Analytics snippet
A

Allow customers to quickly reorder an item they have previously purchased

Explanation: A remarketing audience is a list of cookies or mobile-advertising IDs that represents a group of users you want to re-engage because of their likelihood to convert. You create remarketing audiences based on user behavior on your site or app, and then use those audiences as the basis for remarketing campaigns.

Q

What is not a benefit of using segments to analyze data?

  • Permanently modify the data in a view
  • Analyze users by single or multi-session conditions
  • Compare behavior metrics for groups of users like Converters vs non Converters
  • Isolate and analyze specific conversion paths using conversion segments
A

Permanently modify the data in a view

Explanation: A segment is a subset of your Analytics data. Segments let you isolate and analyze those subsets of data so you can examine and respond to the component trends in your business. You can also use segments as the basis for audiences. A segment is made up of one or more non-destructive filters (filters that do not alter the underlying data). Those filters isolate subsets of users, sessions, and hit.

Q

To recognize users across different devices, what is required for User ID?

  • Google Tag Manager
  • Sign-in that generates and sets unique IDs
  • A new Analytics account for reporting
  • All of the above
A

Sign-in that generates and sets unique IDs

Explanation: The User ID enables the association of one or more sessions (and any activity within those sessions) with a unique and persistent ID that you send to Analytics. To implement the User ID, you must be able to generate your own unique IDs, consistently assign IDs to users, and include these IDs wherever you send data to Analytics. For example, you could send the unique IDs generated by your own authentication system to Analytics as values for the User ID. Any engagement, like link clicks and page or screen navigation, that happen while a unique ID is assigned can be sent and connected in Analytics via the User ID.

Q

When the same default tracking code is installed on pages with different domains, what will result?

  • Analytics will associate users and sessions with their respective domains
  • Analytics will send an alert about duplicate data collection
  • Analytics will associate users and sessions with a single domain
  • Analytics will not associate users and sessions with any domain
A

Analytics will associate users and sessions with their respective domains

Explanation:

One of the first things you should know about when using and configuring Analytics is how the domain of the web property you are tracking is defined as a “site” for the purposes of viewing your reports. The default setup of the tracking code is designed to make it easy for you to track traffic to a single domain or subdomain (e.g. a single website URL) that does not share user data with other domains or sub-domains.

For example, if your pet store URL is dogs.example.com and you install the tracking code with its web property ID on those pages, tracking is automatically set up to track user data only for this single URL. In a similar way, if you own the primary domain, such as www.example.com, and you install tracking for all pages on this site, user and referral traffic is recorded separately for www.example.com.

Q

In Custom Reports, what must metrics and dimensions share in order to report accurately?

  • Same scope
  • Same index
  • Same Custom Report
  • Same view
A

Same scope

Explanation: Not every metric can be combined with every dimension. Each dimension and metric has a scope: user-level, session-level, or hit-level. In most cases, it only makes sense to combine dimensions and metrics that share the same scope.

Q

In views that don’t have data import enabled, Custom Dimensions values may be viewed for dates before the Custom Dimension was created.

TRUE
FALSE

A

FALSE

Explanation: You need to understand that Custom dimensions and custom metrics are like default dimensions and metrics in your Analytics account, except you create them yourself. You can use them to collect and analyze data that Analytics doesn’t automatically track. And Data Import lets you upload data from external sources and combine it with data you collect via Analytics. So, there is no way to see the custom dimension value before creating the custom dimension.

Q

What criteria could not be used to create a Dynamic Remarketing audience?

Users who viewed a search result page on your website
Users who viewed product detail pages
Users who viewed your homepage
Users who returned an item they purchased

A

Users who returned an item they purchased

Explanation: you can implement Dynamic Remarketing by using the preconfigured All Users list, creating more narrowly targeted lists lets you focus your ad content and budget where it will have the most impact. For example, users who have already added items to their shopping carts might need just a reminder or incentive to complete their transactions, while users who have only viewed the products may need more convincing about the overall value of the products.

By following the same procedure you use to create Remarketing Audiences, you can build segment-based Dynamic Remarketing Audiences using your new dimensions.

If X and Y are in the same channel grouping

If X and Y have the same campaign
as long as sampling is not required

A

If X and Y have the same scope

Explanation: Not every metric can be combined with every dimension. Each dimension and metric has a scope: user-level, session-level, or hit-level. In most cases, it only makes sense to combine dimensions and metrics that share the same scope. For example, Sessions is a session-based metric so it can only be used with session-level dimensions like Source or City. It would not be logical to combine Sessions with a hit-level dimension like Page.
