d) Do visitors usually start my conversion process from the first step or somewhere in the middle?
e) All of these can be answered using the goal flow report.

 

 

You have defined goal X such that any PDF download qualifies as a goal conversion. A user comes to your site once and downloads five PDFs. How many goal conversions will be recorded?

a) 2
b) 0
c) 5
d) 1

 

This is probably the question that most people get wrong. The answer is indeed 1, not 5 goal conversions.

Here is an explanation: There is an important difference between Goal conversions and ecommerce transactions. A Goal conversion can only be counted once during a visit, but an ecommerce transaction can be counted multiple times during a visit. Let’s say that you set one of your Goals to be a PDF download and you define it such that any PDF download is a valid Goal conversion. And let’s also say that the Goal is worth $5. In this case, if a user comes to your site and downloads five PDF files during a single session, you’ll only get one conversion worth $5. However, if you were to track each of these downloads as a $5 ecommerce transaction, you would see five transactions and $25 in ecommerce revenue.

 

Setting up goals allows you to see________.

1. a) bounce rate
   b) conversion rates
   c) a list of transactions
   d) ecommerce revenue

Answer:
b) conversion rates

Every metric may be combined with every dimension in Google Analytics.

1. a) True
   b) False

Answer:
b) False

You can combine a metric X with a dimension Y in Google Analytics

1. a) as long as sampling is not required
   b) if X and Y have been precalculated together in an aggregate table
   c) if X and Y are in the same channel grouping
   d) if X and Y have the same campaign
   e) if X and Y have the same scope

Answer:
e) 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: users, sessions, or actions. 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 an action-level (or, hit-level) dimension like Page.
