Thanks for your advice everyone. I have created a sample gallery that is a little different than some of my prior attempts, the main being that I am not using any sponsor graphics at all. The gallery is located at:

Tell me what you think. Also, through reading the replies so far, I've developed a few new questions as to the Free sites:
When I create free sites, what is the basic structure (number of pics/pages) of these sites and from where should I get the content? (from sponsor, free content, paid, etc...)
Thanks everyone
