MKTG 345 Google Analytics Certification Experience week 13



Google as their Google Partners webmaster tools, these are free certifications for various online tools Google has. For the specific Google Analytics Certification the exam is 70 questions, you have 90 minutes, and the score needed to pass is 80%, and it is valid for 18 months.



There are two parts of studying for this exam, the Google Analytics for Beginners and the Advanced Google Analytics.

The Google Analytics for beginners has four units, and the Advanced Google Analytics also has four units. I do not remember how long it takes to go through all of this information, but it was very useful in studying for this exam. There are many external sources you can use to aid in studying, but I did not find them necessary as Google created the exam, so they also provide enough information to pass the exam.



Overall the exam was slightly more challenging than I anticipated it would be. However it is passable, and I found myself rushing through some of the material, and those were the problems I got stuck on.

The biggest thing to keep in mind with the Analytics exam is that it is a lot of information. You do need to study, and it is not something you can just wing. It is passable though, and you can take it more than one time if you need to. I am not sure the exact waiting time, but if you fail it then you can retake it. It also is helpful to take the exam towards the beginning of your studying efforts, just to get a feel for what you will need when you are taking the test not as a practice.

MKTG 345 Google Analytics Bounce Rate Week 11

Image
The bounce rate is the percentage of visitors on a website who exit the site after only viewing one page. This is an important rate to know in marketing because it gives you insight on the user experience. If people did not find your website pleasing, they left. Not all high bounce rates are bad, if the reason for the ad campaign was to get people to complete the option and they went to that page, and did then the higher bounce rate may not be a bad thing. Or if the purpose of that page is to complete a specific task, like assist in making a phone call, or that lead directly to the product they clicked on. So if your goals only expect the visitor to visit one page then a lower bounce rate is ok.
