Just a funny story...
Some "guest" left a comment on my site complaining about the lack of good nudes. Strange, I thought. So I looked in my StatCounter log and found a surprise.
Seems that Smugmug adds to our HTML a description saying "### photos in ## galleries." I don't see that on my pages, but it's there in the source.
Seems that search engines pick up this description.
Seems that there is a porno site called "30 Galleries".
Seems that a lot of people are searching for that site, so anybody at Smugmug with 30 galleries in any category might well show up on the search.
I don't see it happen with Google. All my porn seeking guests are coming from MSN's search engine.

What a strange story. Yes, you hid the number of galleries and photos from your homepage using the following two CSS lines:
.homepage .description {display:none;}
.miniBox .description {display: none;}
Search engines don't care about CSS and that's why they see the text anyways. I would simply add a gallery to your senior portrait category and the issue should resolve itself in time.
