Adobe Exam AD0-E208 Topic 2 Question 54 Discussion

Actual exam question for Adobe's AD0-E208 exam

Question #: 54
Topic #: 2

A media agency is running a Display campaign, but none of the data is credited to the Display marketing channel in Adobe Analytics.

Here are some example tracking codes provided by the media agency:

?cid=disp_lifestyle_summer2019.088653 ?cid=disp_summer2019_branding_647821 ?cid=disp_671244_hero_summer2019

The Marketing Channel Processing Rule for the Display channel is configured as follows:

What is causing the loss of data in Adobe Analytics?

AThe Marketing Channel processing rule is not set up to collect data for the summer2019 campaign.

BThe Marketing Channel processing rule is using a different query string parameter.

CThe variables in the tracking code are not following a consistent taxonomy.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The reason why none of the data is credited to the Display marketing channel in Adobe Analytics is that the Marketing Channel processing rule is using a different query string parameter. The tracking codes provided by the media agency use the parameter ''cid'', but the processing rule is looking for the parameter ''cmpid''. Therefore, the rule will not match any of the tracking codes and will not assign them to the Display channel.

I'm pretty confident that the issue here is the inconsistent taxonomy in the tracking codes. The processing rule seems to be set up correctly, but the different naming conventions in the codes are causing the data to not be credited to the Display channel. Option C is the way to go.

Okay, let me think this through. The processing rule is looking for the "cid" parameter, and the tracking codes all have that, but they're using different naming conventions. So I think the issue is that the variables in the tracking code aren't following a consistent taxonomy, which would mean option C is the correct answer.

Hmm, the processing rule looks like it's set up to capture the "cid" parameter, but the tracking codes are using different naming conventions. I'd guess the issue is with the inconsistent taxonomy, so option C might be the right answer.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The tracking codes seem to be using different parameters, so I'm not sure if the issue is with the processing rule or the inconsistent taxonomy.
