Learning them all at once :leon:

ppc is most complicated of the three (paid search)

fb and twitter are easier to grasp




on the surface yea, but digital analytics / google analytics, when properly trained, can get pretty complicated (understanding things like sources, mediums, referrals, funnel visualizations, goal setting / tracking, events and more)

and the knowledge is worth $




nice, good luck

I'm looking at my ctr and it's less than 2% on all 3 platforms. I think I need to redo my landing page because I don't think it's converting well. I also need to setup retargeting too :patrice:

I'd recommend picking one, knocking it out, then going for the other. Just speaking for myself but when I tried to go back and forth I would lose focus.

Which CCNP and which MCSE are you working on and which one are you the most interested in?

Are you involved in the creation of these marketing campaigns or do you just work with/support them?

I'm the client/user of the data. My job is to take the metrics brought down from Google Analytics and other in-house tools we use that scrap all websites nightly and develop analytics/reporting around it. There are about 9 or 10 GA metrics we currently use to track site performance along with a bunch of other metrics from in-house tools created by the dev teams to track site compliance (i.e. making sure all of the websites are complaint with standards set forth by boards of governance). I'm basically marrying all of this data together on the backend (using mainly SQL) and then building out the different dashboards in Tableau.

Tableau Software

Tableau is a Visual Analytics tool used to visualize/tell a story from data. You can build hierarchies, perform in-memory data-blending with data from different sources, create data extracts, create additional dimensionality within the data, create mobile-based reports, etc.

It's probably the best Analytics tool on the market today

Google Tableau Salaries.

Breh I been fukking up.. Ended up picking up a ps4 over the holidays.. :snoop:


Plan is to be back in full swing by this weekend though.. How was the 410?

Seems we're interested in the same things... Though I originally started studying ccnp route before msca, routing and switching just clicks for me.. I can get lost in the CLI.. I find servers a bit more of a chore... How much time did you put into the 410? Haven't touched any material in about 6 weeks.. :snoop:

You be alright. I started over in december. I did 2 CBT vids a day and labbed everythinnnng on the weekends.

Total of 3 weeks, its really not that big of a deal once you knuckle down. Trying to revise slowly over the course of two months left my knowledge mad gappy so I just had to attack it.

I got my hunger back...was pretendin like i didnt see this thread for a good month or two :francis:
Plus new year and all that :yeshrug:
Looked back at last year and told myself I need to change the story:snoop:

Career academy doesn't have lab simulation for hands-on training like Testout. I wouldn't invest in a course that doesn't have a lab simulation to practice configuration of operating system, setting up a network , and troubleshoot computer-related issues. Testout is the complete package that is similar to a college course that comes with a lab.
They don't have many cert training packages, might get on this CCNA, Server 2012, & Linux tho
