Google Analytics Individual Qualification Questions

Question 1

Auto-tagging is a feature that is used with which type of traffic?

Accepted Answer

AdWords Campaign traffic

Answer

When Google Analytics samples data for large reports, a control appears in the report interface, typically a green shield icon, indicating the sampling rate. Users can interact with this control to adjust the sample size, choosing between faster report generation with less precision or slower processing with greater precision.

Question 2

Google Analytics can identify that two sessions are from the same user if

Accepted Answer

the sessions happen in the same browser on the same device

Answer

Segments are analytical tools that allow you to isolate and analyze subsets of your Google Analytics data (either users or sessions) without altering the raw data itself. Unlike filters, which permanently modify data as it's collected into a view, segments are applied dynamically for analysis and do not change the underlying data.

Question 3

When a report is based on data from a large number of sessions, you may see the following notice at the top of the report: “This report is based on N sessions.” You can adjust the sampling rate of the report by:

Accepted Answer

adjusting a control in the reporting interface for greater or less precision

Answer

Discrepancies between AdWords clicks and Analytics sessions can arise from multiple factors. Users might click an ad multiple times but only generate one session, block cookies, have JavaScript disabled (preventing GA tracking), or leave the page before the GA tracking code fully loads, all leading to reporting differences.

Question 4

Segments are subsets of your Analytics data. Which of the following statements are NOT true of Analytics segments?

Accepted Answer

Segments are filters that permanently change your data.

Answer

An assisted conversion occurs when a channel contributes to a conversion path but is not the final interaction that directly leads to the conversion. For example, a user might first discover a product through a social media ad (assisting channel) and later return directly to the site to make a purchase (final interaction channel).

Question 5

Why can AdWords clicks sometimes differ from Analytics sessions in your reports?

Accepted Answer

all of the above

Answer

Creating a new Channel Grouping in a Google Analytics view allows you to customize how your traffic sources are categorized. These groupings can be applied retroactively to historical data, immediately used in relevant reports, and change how data is displayed without altering the raw data itself.
