Q

How do you reorganize the email groups on the Subscription Management page?

A

Though, the display name is set by the value in “Name of the email group as it appears to contact”, email groups are displayed in alphabetical order based on the value in the ‘Name’ field. Think of the ‘name’ field as a slug or machine name.

19
Q

When is an Eloqua visitor profile deleted?

A

When 4 months have gone by with no Eloqua tracked activity on the cookie.

If the visitor (cookie) returns, Eloqua recreates the whole profile from the raw and aggregated data.

20
Q

You are testing an Eloqua integrated form and submit the form using three different email addresses. Which Eloqua contact record is the visitor profile linked to?

A

The first email address used to submit a form.

Your cookie (visitor record) is linked to the first contact created when the form is submitted for the first time and is not re-linked with each additional form submission. All form submissions are of the same priority when it comes to linking visitors to contacts; once a visitor record is linked to a contact in Eloqua, the only way it can be changed is if an activity of a higher priority takes place. Note that each Eloqua contact record will contain form submission activity as the form activity is tied to the contact via the email address, not the visitor profile.

21
Q

True or False: once a visitor record is linked to a contact in Eloqua, the only way it can be changed is if an activity of a higher priority takes place.

A

True.

22
Q

You perform a search on Google then click through on a sponsored link to an Eloqua tracked page. It is your first visit to this website and cookies are enabled. What type of Eloqua Visitor are you?

A

You are an Unknown Eloqua Visitor.

An Eloqua cookie is created upon your first visit to an Eloqua tracked page, but you haven’t yet performed any actions to link your cookie (visitor record) to an Eloqua contact record.

23
Q

How long after submitting an Eloqua integrated form is the activity visible on the contact’s record in Eloqua?

A

15 to 20 minutes after the web visit has ended.

Visitor data remains in the live tier until the web visit ends (10 minutes with no recorded activity). It then takes 15 to 20 minutes for the data to be available for reporting and for the activity to appear on the Eloqua contact record.

24
Q

True or False: The microsite for a landing page can be changed before the landing page is saved for the first time.

A

True.

25
Q

True of False: A single landing page can be published to only one microsite.

A

True.

If the same landing page is to be published to another microsite, a copy needs to be made first.

26
Q

True of False: Eloqua tracking scripts need to be implemented for each Eloqua hosted microsite in order for the web activity to be tracked.

A

False.

Eloqua-hosted microsites already contain scripts to track web activity, so do not require separate implementation of scripts.

27
Q

True of False: The microsite for a landing page can be changed at any time.

A

False.

Once you save the Landing Page, the Microsite cannot be changed.

28
Q

A customer wants to track views of a Case Study hosted on their website (www.website.com/files/casestudy.pdf). They already have the Eloqua tracking scripts implemented on their website. What needs to be done?

A

Change the link to: <a></a>

This is because tracking scripts cannot be applied directly to a pdf document, the link to the pdf. This change, combined with the Eloqua tracking scripts already on this page, enables the Eloqua database to record clicks on this link.

29
Q

Which three actions link a visitor record to an Eloqua contact?

A
  1. Clicking on a redirect link in an Eloqua email,
  2. Submitting an Eloqua integrated form hosted externally,
  3. Submitting an Eloqua hosted form

A visitor record is linked to an Eloqua contact when a contact clicks a link in an Eloqua email and/or submits an Eloqua-integrated form (whether hosted in Eloqua or externally). Form submissions are a higher priority activity than email clickthroughs.

30
Q

What are sub sites used for within Eloqua?

A

Reporting on Eloqua tracked subdomains and domains separately

Eloqua sub sites are created exclusively for reporting purposes. By configuring web properties as unique sub sites, they can be reported on separately.

31
Q

You upload an Excel file of contacts into Eloqua - one of the rows has an invalid email address. What effect does this have on your upload?

A

No contact record is created for the invalid email address, the remainder of contacts are processed.

When a file contains an invalid email address, there is no contact record created/updated for the invalid email address. The rest of the rows are processed by the upload and are not impacted by the single row with the invalid email address. Valid email addresses are defined by RFC 5322: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322.

32
Q

A Customer Administrator deletes all contacts that have been flagged as hard bouncebacks in order to reduce the number of contacts in their database. What happens when one of those contacts is recreated from a list upload?

A

The contact will be created in Eloqua with only the fields populated from the list upload. Their email status remains as hard bounceback and they will not be able to receive emails from Eloqua.

When a contact’s email address is identified as being a hard bounceback, the email address status changes from Valid to Invalid. This email status is stored in a separate data table in Eloqua. When a contact record is deleted from the Eloqua database, there is still an entry in the EmailAddress table which contains email compliance data, such as subscription and bounceback status. When a new contact is created in Eloqua with an email address in the EmailAddress table, the associated status is applied to the new contact record and only the fields populated from the list upload are written to the newly created contact record.

33
Q

True or False: When a contact record is deleted from the Eloqua database all associated data is deleted.

A

False.

When a contact record is deleted from the Eloqua database, there is still an entry in the EmailAddress table which contains email compliance data, such as subscription and bounceback status. When a new contact is created in Eloqua with an email address in the EmailAddress table, the associated status is applied to the new contact record and only the fields populated from the list upload are written to the newly created contact record.

34
Q

Why are email addresses stored in a a separate EmailAddresses table rather than along with the rest of the contact data?

A

To preserve email compliance data such as subscription and bounceback status for the email address even if the associated contact record has been deleted.

When a new contact is created in Eloqua with an email address in the EmailAddress table, the associated status is applied to the new contact record and only the fields populated from the list upload are written to the newly created contact record.

35
Q

What three settings can be changed on a contact field after it has been created and saved?

A
  1. Display name
  2. Default Update Logic
  3. Field type
36
Q

True or False: The ‘data type’ setting on a contact field can be changed after a new field is saved.

A

False.

Data type cannot be changed after a new field is saved.

37
Q

True or False: If a field has been created with the wrong data type (ie. text instead of numeric), the only way to fix is to create a new field using the correct data type.

A

True.

38
Q

True or False: Eloqua hosted microsites are automatically created as sub sites in Eloqua.

A

True.

39
Q

True or False: Each sub site requires a unique set of Eloqua tracking scripts.

A

False.

40
Q

True or False: Eloqua tracking scripts must exist on the subsite before a sub site can be created in Eloqua.

A

False.

41
Q

Your client has selected to use the Subscription Management Page in Eloqua. What phrase should be hyperlinked to the Subscription Management Page in the email footer?

A

“Manage your email preferences or unsubscribe”

It is a best practice to clearly state the purpose of the hyperlinked text so the recipient of the email knows what to expect when they click the link. Email recipients can choose which email communications they would like to receive or they can unsubscribe from all marketing emails from the Subscription Management Page.

42
Q

Your client’s website is query-string based, using a pageid parameter value to identify unique pages, ie. www.client.com?pageid=pricing. Which two components must be configured in Eloqua to record unique page URLs on the site map and have them available for segmentation, scoring and page tagging?

A

First, a query string needs to be configured to capture the values associated with the ‘pageid’ parameter.

Then, a query string parameter set needs to be created for the base URL ‘www.client.com’ with the ‘pageid’ query string selected.

This tells Eloqua to record visits to ‘www.client.com’ with a ‘pageid’ query string parameter value as unique pages.

43
Q

To achieve high deliverability during IP warming, what do you do?

A

Email contacts information they requested in small, targeted segments
