Audience engagement

1. You need to use WP-FB Autoconnect to take advantage of the Achievements page?

Answer: B

While it's recommended that you use the WP-FB Autoconnect plugin on your site for greater reach, it is not a requirement of Achievements for BuddyPress.

2. Try to reward your visitors with multiple popups, as they need to be engaged

Answer: B

The last thing you want to do is bombard site visitors with incessant pop-ups. Use them sparingly for online promotions or special announcements.

3. Providing as much information as you can fit into your Welcome Page is detrimental to the success of the initial visit for a new site user

Answer: B

It's easy to fill up your Welcome page with a long list of site features and other information, but try to stick to the basics of why your site matters to your users, what type of information is available and how they can utilize it.

4. You can use any point system when you create Achievements

Answer: A

5. Progressive profiling means that you'll learn more information about your site visitors every time they log in

Answer: B

Progressive profiling means you'll learn more information about your site visitors every time they complete an action that you can track. For example, using Achievements for BuddyPress, you can get a more accurate representation of your visitor based on the achievement he or she has completed. This can occur on separate site visits as well as during the same site visit.
