Arguably the information gained from counters when you are starting out is just barely worth the drain. Put at least ten more breaks betwen the bottom of the gallery and the counter- you don't need the extra accuracy. And you should reduce your graphic load when using a counter. And arguably sacrifice a sell point, so you end up with a max of one or two sell points and the counter pushed way down below.

Copy is the great mystery, the critical success factor.

Your gallerys are suffering from hosted-gallery-itis. It's a classic error. Just become there's an excess of "designers" that think that graphics sell doesn't mean that graphics DO sell.

You are loading your pages with graphics at the top. A surfer takes about 5 seconds to decide wether he's interested in the gallery, and in about 5 more seconds decides wether he gives a shit about your sell.

What does your surfer see in the first few seconds that gives him information about wether or not he should give a shit about your gallery? A magazine ad loads instantly, an online ad doesn't.

Copy is a real interesting topic.
