Showcase this hands-on experience in an interview
In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to identify and manage web (referral and ghost) spam with filters in Google Analytics, filter internal traffic and clean past data of spam with segmentation. While the principles are valid to learn for everyone, it is preferable to have an active Google Analytics account to apply them to during the guided project. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
No specific background required, some level of understanding of web traffic and an active Google Analytics account are a plus.
