First of all I am assuming you are using imageready (inside of Photoshop) to
save this as a gif. I would think before you go to imageready you would
reduce your image to 72DPI. I design at 72DPI since that is all a system
will render. (If you need it for print then the 600 DPI is needed.) This
could be your first problem.
Also have you tried to dither your image in imageready . . .although this
will increase image size? Do you have enough colors in your palette? Also
you will need to matte this image to what ever the background color it will
be sitting on. Looks like white right now.
I don't know your level or expertise in Photoshop. If you need more
detailed explanation, email me off list.
