What is the Web Analytics Competition?

The Omniture Web Analytics Competition is an event where student teams analyze an actual company’s web site using Omniture’s flagship software SiteCatalyst. After performing the analysis, teams then present their findings and recommendations to a panel of Omniture judges who in turn choose four teams to present at the competition’s final event.
