Frame killer script affects Google Images results?

[norbiu]

OK, I've had this frame killer script on my site for some time now. So whenever someone clicks on a Google Images result from my site, it kills the frame and redirects to the page the picture is on.

I noticed that only half of my images are indexed, so could that be a reason?

...it kills the frame and redirects to the page the picture is on.

There was a discussion of how Google might look at a similar approach in this thread....

Redirecting Google image users to relevant page

Google doesn't like redirects from search results, but there is some justice perhaps to showing the image in context.

I've recently encountered images that do rank which use such redirects from the link at the top of Google's frameset going to the full-sized image by itself... but I haven't seen any images ranking that simply kill the frame when you click in Google's image results page (call it, say, a GIRP... ;) ).

Can't say for sure what Google's policy would be on either approach.

Maybe they're not really happy about it, but I'm not either. They should at least leave the lower frame load first, then the upper one. Users are just interested in grabbing the picture and running. I would be ok with that if they would get it by browsing my page.
