Web analytics provider Omniture says it is buying parts of site search and optimization firm Mercado’s intellectual property and business assets for approximately $6.5 million. The price includes cash and the assumption of the Pleasanton, CA-based software firm’s related operating liabilities. Omniture has already been working with Mercado. It says the added technology capabilities it’s gaining will be aimed at offering more services to e-commerce sites.

It just bought rival Visual Sciences (fka WebSideStory) in a $394 million cash and stock deal. Release
