Hi @ezhil_raja,

I got the below questions while going through the  Section 1: Analytics in the Adobe Experience Cloud Eco-system, could you please clarify?

• How and where to find ECID (MID) on a site?
• Does ECID identifies a visitor as unique visitor if a user visits through different browsers like Chrome and Mozilla on the same device?
• Does ECID identifies a visitor as unique visitor if a user visits through multiple devices like desktop and mobile?
• What all information a Cookie contain and is there anything that a site owner should do to make these work?
• Does analytics track visitor data when a user disables support of JavaScript in browsers?
• What happens to ECID when a user resets his/her history, cookies etc.?
• Track users across domains (different domains) – What all configurations that a cross domain (XYZ.com) contains that are similar to the main domain (ABC.com) to map a visitor as a same user across these domains?
• What is CNAME?
• There is a content on ‘Experience Manager Sites Authoring’ under the section 1, so will there be any question asked on certification exam on AEM too? (Sharing an image below for ref).
  • 

[ezhil_raja]

Hi Ramesh,

You can see ECID in the applications tab in developer tools. Filter for s_ecid in the list of cookies shown for the website. ECIDs will be different on different browsers on the same or different system, however ID synchronization is possible when user signs into the applications with an enterprise id. When a user clears cookies, all visitor history will be deleted from the system.

Regarding CNAME, you can refer to this documentation https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/id-service/using/reference/analytics-reference/cname and there wont be any AEM questions and you can exclude any such content while preparing.

[rameshpennam]

thanks @ezhil_raja, this helps.

[ezhil_raja]

I believe you are actively preparing for your analytics certification and are on track. In case if you have any questions or clarifications, please share here...

[ChaithraN1]

@ezhil_raja Is it possible to have a bi-weekly call for topics to discuss and for QnA session ?

@ChaithraN1 as per the program guidelines, all conversations should happen only on these threads and unfortunately we cannot schedule any calls outside of this thread

Hi @ezhil_raja 

I have some doubts regarding certification. Recently, I took the certification exam but unfortunately, I failed by just 3 marks. I thoroughly reviewed the exam preparation guide and completed all the practice tests, scoring 47/47 in those practice tests. I also used some third-party question dumps. However, the actual exam was quite different from the preparation guide, with questions related to mobile APIs that I wasn’t expecting. How should I prepare for the exam if the content seems to vary so much from the preparation guide?

[ezhil_raja]

Hi @Ragulraj

AD0-E213 is a professional level certification and the complexity of the questions is relatively lesser and the exam guide is quiet comprehensive and you can with the same and also the analytics product documentation. Please refer to this link here https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/certification/program/technical-certifications/aa/aa-prof... and APIs are in scope under Section 5. As far as I know, there is no mobile api related questions, and one or two generic simple ones are expected.

I suggest you read the questions a little more and try again during your next attempt, and i'm sure you'll clear it. All the best!!

Week 4 Question:

When setting up marketing channels, which two channels are available as part of the auto setup wizard? (Choose 2)

1. Direct
2. Natural Search
3. Media
4. Newsletter

[rameshpennam]

@ezhil_raja 

These are the two most common channels available in most auto setup wizards for marketing.

1. Direct: Represents traffic that comes directly to your website without clicking on any links or ads.
2. Natural Search: Refers to organic search traffic from search engines like Google, Bing, etc.

[_Ragulraj]

@ezhil_raja 

 Ans,

1.Direct 

2.Natural Search

Direct

This type of traffic is categorized under the "Direct" channel because the user did not arrive at your site via a referring source like another website or a search engine.
Natural Search
Traffic from non-paid search engine results is categorized under "Natural Search" or "Organic Search.

[ezhil_raja]

both of you are correct 🙂
