Click on a link to go to the booking engine. That is not a bounce.In Google Analytics for example the exit link (like the booking engine) is encoded with a piece of code like this:onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;/goal/feed&#039;)then it automatically not counted as a bounce.In my case the above code tracks the link that goes to sign up for my blog&#039;s feed which happens at feedburner.com.)You should ask Omniture how to do something like this.
