You have noticed that many users visit your site several times before converting and you want to understand in more detail how they arrive at your site. Which of the following metrics would be more helpful in showing you whether a keyword is part of a conversion path?
The Multi-Channel Funnels reports are generated from conversion paths, the sequences of interactions (i.e., clicks/referrals from channels) that led up to each conversion and transaction. By default, only interactions within the last 30 days are included in conversion paths, but you can adjust this time period from 1-90 days using the Lookback Window selector at the top of each report.

Which campaign tracking variables are required in order to ensure accurate data shows for your campaign in the “All Traffic” report?

A visitor comes to your site but stop looking at pages and generating events. Which of the following will occur by default?
When a user, say Bob, arrives on your site, Analytics starts counting from that moment. If 30 minutes pass without any kind of interaction from Bob, the session ends.
Why is it important that you maintain one unfiltered view when using filters with your Analytics account?
We recommend that you don’t delete or add filters to your original view. When you delete a view, that particular historical perspective of the data is gone. When you add filters to a view, the data you exclude is unavailable.
In which of the following circumstances would you want to increase the default session timeout length in Google Analytics?

Real-Time allows you to monitor activity as it happens on your site or app. The reports are updated continuously and each hit is reported seconds after it occurs. For example, you can see how many people are on your site right now, which pages or events they’re interacting with, and which goal conversions have occurred.
Which of the following metrics shows the number of times your ads were displayed?
How often your ad is shown. An impression is counted each time your ad is shown on a search result page or other site on the Google Network.

Data Import lets you join the data generated by your offline business systems with the online data collected by Google Analytics. This can help you organize, analyze and act upon this unified data view in ways that are better aligned with your specific and unique business needs.

What is the purpose of the URL Builder?
The URL builder helps you add parameters to URLs you use in custom web-based or email ad campaigns. A custom campaign is any ad campaign not using the AdWords auto-tagging feature.
Specifying a goal value allows Google Analytics to calculate _________________.
Assigning a Goal value is optional, we recommend you do so to help monetize and evaluate your conversions. Note that Google Analytics also uses the Goal value data to calculate other metrics like ROAS (Return on Ad Spend). If using a dollar amount as a Goal value doesn’t seem applicable to your site or app, just use a consistent numeric scale to weight and compare your conversions. For example, give low-value Goals a “1” and high-value Goals a “10.”
Your Multi-Channel Funnel reports have no data. What is the most likely reason?
Google Analytics compiles conversion path data for any Goal or Ecommerce transaction you define. It means, If you have not defined goal in Google analytics, you won’t be able to see anything in report.
