In order to improve our targeting abilities, once a known lead has visited your website, we will override their company name by using their email domain. This way, even if the visitor is not currently at the office, but visiting your website from their house, instead of appearing as an ISP (Comcast Cables / AT&T..) they will appear as coming from the company associated with the email domain they used. For example, someone is known in Marketo Lead Database as 'john.doe@example.com' – once they have visited your website, they will show up as coming from Example Corp even if they are not currently at the office.   IP based geo-location targeting has a 95% accuracy rates for country level and around 85% for states which is why you may sometime see discrepancies. Location identification is not 100%, especially with ISP’s. Given this information, the visitors might be at their home using an IP that is registered as in the wrong city and sometime even state.

Also see: RTP Javascript API   RTP asset discovery technology is discovering clicks on links that direct to files such as: PDF, YouTube, PPT etc. Also, it uses predefined URL patterns to count an HTML page as an asset (see: Enabling Asset Discovery - Marketo Docs - Marketo User Manual).   In some cases, the download (submit) button is not a direct link to the asset itself but to a javascript that opens the asset. When this is the case, it is required to code the asset discovery events in the page. The way to do it is by using the  rtp( 'send' , 'view')  API call. NOTE: this method can be used only with RTP API tag version This is how the code should look like:   rtp('send', 'view','/case_study1.pdf');      

Yes. It is possible to exclude specific pages or URL patterns from being tracked by the RTP tag. Contact support with the list of pages / patterns you want to exclude.  

There is an option to configure specific company names from being included in the RTP email reports (daily/weekly). Simply submit a support ticket with the exact names you would like to exclude and the support team will make the configuration.

On the Schedule tab of a Smart Campaign, you'll see a count of the number of leads who are blocked from receiving emails:     Here are the reasons why your lead might be blocked from a mailing: Unsubscribed = TrueEmail Invalid = TrueMarketing Suspended = TrueBlacklisted = TrueEmail Address is emptyEmail suspended at in past 24 hours Leads that are blocked from mailings will run through the campaign's flow. However, these leads will be ignored any Send Email flow steps. They will execute all the other flow steps of the campaign. Note: If your Email is flagged as an Operational Email, Marketo will ignore the Unsubscribe and Marketing Suspended flags when running the Send Email step - but these leads will still count in the number blocked from mailings. Getting a list of all blocked leads First, set up a Smart List in your Lead Database to find all leads blocked from mailings as shown below.

Want to gauge how many leads clicked through a link you have in your social media or other outlets? This can be done using URL Parameters at the end of the URLs you use. Basically, you just add a little bit of code to the end of the hyperlinked URL. When leads click through and arrive at your Landing Page, that code can be captured into a hidden Form field. Here’s how to do it.   Quick Overview of URL Parameters In the structure of a URL, there are two main parts. The first part is used for navigation, and the second part is used to pass data along. The two parts are separated by a question mark. For example, let’s look at this URL:   www.myawesomewebsite.com?URLParameter=ThisIsAParameter   The first part of the URL, “myawesomewebsite.com” is the main part of the URL used for navigation. The whole rest of the URL from the question mark on, “?URLParameter=ThisIsAParameter” is referred to as a querystring. It isn’t needed for navigation to the page specified, but c

IP Exclusion: did you exclude some IP's in RTP or GA? You'll need to make sure that visitors from these IP are not being tracked in both tools. Exclude internal traffic (GA)Exclude Specific IPs From Being Tracked (RTP) Segmentation: The conditions defined in the RTP segments do not cover all the website traffic.Tag implementation: The RTP or the GA tag is not installed on all the website pagesTag Timing: The data is sent from RTP to GA once both tags are loaded on the page.  In some cases, visitors are leaving the page before the data sent to GA. The recommendation here is to locate both the RTP and the GA tag higher in the code so they will load faster.Web Bot: RTP is treating web bots and crawlers differently than how GA does. There are cases where RTP identifies these "fake" user and doesn't show campaigns / send data to GA while the visit will be recorded in GA as all other sessions.Session Duration: A session in RTP last for 30 minutes from the last click, while in GA thi

What is the Golden Shield Project? The Golden Shield Project, commonly referred to as "The Great Firewall of China", is an initiative by the Chinese government designed to monitor and heavily censor all internet content. While most firewalls offer a protective shield around a corporation, Golden Shield places one around an entire country. Years in the making, the Golden Shield began operation in 2006.   How does it affect me? If you are sending email to China, it will be subjected to significantly stricter email filtering than any other country in the world. This could result in email delays, delivered emails with unclickable links, or flat-out non-deliverability.   What can I do to ensure email delivery? While there is no guaranteed way to ensure delivery (to anyone for that matter), there are some best practices you can follow that can improve deliverability when sending to China. Avoid commonly filtered content: Political and religious content aren’t only hot-butt

Included in this article   Overview The Issue The Explanation   Overview Sometimes you'll see an organization show up as "ISP - Anonymous - Proxy" in your visitors list in RTP.   The Issue RTP is a powerful product with an immense database, but not every ISP can be found.  When we receive a visit from an ISP we can't identify, instead of omitting them from our results, we use the name "ISP - Anonymous - Proxy" and set the location to "United States.     The Explanation Pretty much any free Wifi signal you find like at a library or coffee shop will be listed as an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The admins for that ISP service can configure their network in any way they would like, including whether they allow for identification of their network. If there is no data provided, there's nothing for RTP or any other service to gather. In that case, that's when you'd see the "ISP - Anonymous - Proxy" listing for a visitor in RTP.

Included in this article:   OverviewViewing Visits in the Visitors List Example of what this looks like Explanation of How It Works Overview Often when looking at a segment based on "number of visits", you may see some leads who look like they should not qualify. These leads are usually qualified, but it may not be evident by looking at the matched visitors.     Viewing Visits in the Visitors List When viewing visits, the data scope is Daily / Weekly / Monthly: Because of this, a visitor might show up here as visiting for the first time (in the selected scope) but in fact, they visited a few times in the past before the selected time range. This is why a segment that is supposed to match visitors on their >2 visits may be matching visitors that show up as on their 1st visit.   Example of what this looks like Filter used in Segment: Visitors List Showing less than 2 visits   Explanation of How It Works RTP stores the total numbe

Overview RTP works very closely with your Marketo Lead Database to pull information about previous visitors, which makes it important for Marketo and RTP to keep accurate and matching information about visitors. There are 3 scenarios that can arise based on how much information is known about the visitor, and each is handled differently. These scenarios are described below.     New Lead with no Email Address and no Marketo Cookie When this kind of lead fills out a Marketo form: Their Marketo cookie is createdLead details will be updated and the Marketo-RTP sync process is initiatedThe lead will then be known to RTP and potentially eligible for personalized campaigns         Lead with Email Address but no Marketo Cookie When this kind of lead receives a Marketo email campaign and clicks on a link in the email: A new Marketo cookie is created for themThis creation initiates the Marketo-RTP sync process     Known Lead with an Emai

Included in this article   OverviewThe BackgroundThe ProblemThe Solution Overview RTP gives a dashboard that provides lots of valuable information about your RTP instance and how everything is performing. One of the widgets in this dashboard is Top Industries. This widget is designed to give you a breakdown of the top performing industries, but sometimes the industry widget is empty:   The Background When a segment is saved in RTP, it is automatically assigned a type.  If the segment contains only the Industry filter, then it is assigned the 'Industry' type and is included in the Industry widget on the dashboard. So, this widget only contains information on Industry segments. If it is not an Industry segment, it will not be included here.   The Problem You can obviously add more filters to the segment other than Industry. However, if the segment contains other filters, then it is assigned the 'Complex' type and is not included in the Industry widget
