    Hi guys, recently i stumbled on website I went to from Google Image search.

    What happened - i clicked on the image result and it opened in usual frame page but then suddenly i got redirected to the actual site and left the image search.

    I wonder whats the code for this and also how legit it is? :) Keeping mind - that the image and conent are relevant.

    It's a simple javascript that breaks frames trying to be wrapped around your website:

    <!-- ONE STEP TO INSTALL BREAK FRAMES -->
    <!-- STEP ONE: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->
    <!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
    <!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

    <BODY>

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- Begin
    if (window != top) top.location.href = location.href;
    // End -->
    </SCRIPT>

    I assume then google doesn't care if you do this? doesn't this kinda kill the purpose of the image search?

    Google considers this against the webmaster guidelines because your serving a different page then what was sent by the search results..... report it. :)
