So I came across a post by RTP Harry from http://runtingsproper.blogspot.com/2010/03/google-analytics-tracking-content.html where he explains how to track scroll depth in Google Analytics.
Since I was looking for exactly that for one of our projects I was excited to give it a go. However it didn’t work. And so I started in my usual journey of understanding why it wasn’t working, fixing it and then sharing it with all of our readers. So here it is:

Google Analytics Qualified Professional program! Yeap. I took the test in over an hour. Answered a good amount of very interesting and not-so-upfront questions and got my qualification. After studying for an entire day, even though I felt like I knew GA pretty well, I decided to take the test. I think that the studying really made a huge difference, otherwise I would’ve failed.
It is an in depth analysis into basics, advanced filtering and profiling and even Regex!
Anyways, one thing disappointed me a bit. After getting my qualification I didn’t find the logos anywhere. So I decided to create my own for the time being until they come up with the official ones.
I honestly hope I am not offending anybody by doing it; cause people get offended with anything these days. I think that my clients will appreciate the extra effort to get qualified and therefore “officially” say that you know what you are talking about.
If you have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact us at Merkados.com.
