Just to play devil's advocate here:
* The people you're hurting with the goatse image are mostly not the people wrapping your game in an iframe, but rather the people playing games on the game aggregator sites. Probably includes many teenagers and children.
* The game aggregator sites are bringing your game to a wider audience. For gamers who don't know the name of a specific game they want to play, it's nice to be able to browse through a directory of games. The game aggregator sites aren't competing with you in terms of Google search results, they're adding your game to their collection and sharing their collection with everyone. Yes, they're supported by advertising, but I'd argue game aggregator sites are still generating a ton of consumer surplus. (For example, many users are blocking ads.)
If you still want to hurt the game aggregator sites for some reason, just include a message on the game loading screen that says "play without ads at sqword.com". Easy.
