From what I've seen nobody seems to be able to do this right out of the box.... and it would seem that after years of development this type of thing would be offered...

When I create a banner with text or an image I get click tracking...

When I create a banner with an iframe, such as a Nasty Dollars switcher ad I get NO click tracking...

It would seem that after years of development someone would have done something like covering the iframe with a transparent gif linked to the link of my choosing.

Anyone with ad banner software doing this?

There's no gaurentee as to what is in the iframe, you can't arbitrarily write an ad system that puts gif's over things...

Exactly.. Which is why I would have to specify if I want one and put a link making it obvious I am doing so to this iframe and not another one.
