Whenever I have surfed Google images it always links to the page the image was originally on. If you start redirecting their surfers to a totally different page you can expect the ban hammer to start swinging in your direction I would think.

why not just use break-out-of-frame javascript code?

I don't know what happened, but thumbs on Google Images links to the original images, but not to the original pages anymore. At least for me. Btw, woj, can you post that js code?

Alright thanks.

Excactly, Google won't like it, and it won't like it if you break out of frame[1], which was recomended in this thread. After doing so, I lost all my image traffic.

Code:

if (top.location != location) {
    top.location.href = document.location.href;
}
