Flickr has find an interesting strategy to capture the visitors that arrive to the website through Google Image Search. Each time you arrive at a photo page using Google, Flickr will provide a yellow note just below the search with the text:
We found 262,353 photos matching [keyword]. Click "search" above to see!
Also the search box is prefiled with the query.
All in one, a simple strategy that could boost the pageviews by a few percents.

Only seems to show when you're not logged in to Flickr. Find this a perfectly fair strategy though from Flickr. They might even consider breaking out of the frame when you click on that search, instead of staying in... |
Thanks for correcting the post Philip, I was a little sleepy :) Yes, that's correct appears only when you are not logged in. As about breaking the frame might result in a long term penalty so they'll stay on the safe side for a while |
> As about breaking the frame might result in > a long term penalty
What makes you think Google would penalize someone breaking out of their search frame, after the user performs a second click? And even with a direkt breaking out of the frame, have you heard of such penalties? |
As far as I remember no, but if they allow Flickr to do that, soon every site will be doing it and that won't be so productive for Google. Is just a guess |
