Most display ads if done well do their job of messaging the viewer with the 'brand'. A click out of a webpage is normally not what the consumer wants anyway, so in my opinion an iframe is great and should cost the same amount of money as a regular click through.

Also, this only works for guest visitors and maybe for non-pro users. Not sure if that only works in windows, but on Firefox, on the Mac, the ads open on a new tab.

I guess this doesn't matter for Flickr. Their source of revenue is premium membership. I must have clicked 20-30 sites waiting for the iframe to appear, but it never did.
