Question 151 - Certified Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Specialist discussion

You can use visitor filters to filter out your own IP address that is currently skewing your results. Visitor filters are rules that allow you to exclude certain IP addresses or ranges from your visitor data and reports. This can help you avoid counting your own visits or those of your employees, partners, or vendors as prospects and skewing your analytics. You can create visitor filters by entering the IP addresses or ranges that you want to exclude in the administration settings.

Answer A is incorrect because you cannot use an automation rule to filter out your own IP address. An automation rule is a criteria-based action that is triggered when a prospect matches the rule. You can use automation rules to perform various actions on prospects, such as sending emails, adjusting scores, changing campaigns, or adding tags, but not filtering them out. Answer B is incorrect because you cannot add rules to the Marketing Cloud Account Engagement tracking code to filter out your own IP address. The Marketing Cloud Account Engagement tracking code is a snippet of JavaScript code that you can add to your website pages to track visitor and prospect activity. You can customize the tracking code to enable or disable certain features, such as first-party cookies, campaign tracking, or opt-in preferences, but not visitor filters. Answer C is incorrect because you cannot use completion actions with a filter to filter out your own IP address. A completion action is a task that is performed after a prospect successfully completes a marketing element, such as a form, landing page, or custom redirect. You can use completion actions to perform various actions on prospects, such as sending emails, adjusting scores, changing campaigns, or adding tags, but not filtering them out.
