YES. Get RID of the rotator. Useless as can be for a gallery.. or do you LIKE burning bandwidth?
Man..
Galleries are all about targeting. Target Target Target. Make your descriptions target the type of surfer you want coming in, and make the GALLERY the center of attention. Wrap advertising around it, i.e. a quick note about how the pics relate to the site you're pushing "man, went to this places office and found this chick there" (lame, but an example).
Essentially, show adds that target the type of pics you're pushing. Banners are useless IMO, I've had much better luck with well-placed and worded text links.
Also, it's all in the hotness of the girl. SO many people put up galleries of plain just average, or even dog-looking women and wonder why the hell they don't convert. Ask yourself. Would YOU Want to put your dick in that shit if you had the chance?
heheh.. All in the girls and advertising matched with your content.
