Thought I was doing every SEO thing Right?

[Craig Pike]

My website is MyRideisMe.com. Been around since 2007. The blog is Wordpress.

I've got a bunch of questions... I'll narrow it down to TWO:

I wrote a story about "Ford Falcon Shelby Drop"

The title in Wordpress is: Ford Falcon Shelby Drop How-To: Handle it!

In the "All in one SEO Pack" plugin, the meta title for Google Search is: Ford Falcon Shelby Drop How-To

Every picture has the file name: ...ford-falcon-shelby-drop....jpg 

Then when I search in Google for "Falcon Shelby Drop" why am I on page 1 or 2 for this very specific search?

Also, I wrote this story: http://www.myrideisme.com/Blog/phoenix-custom-auto-paint-warning/

When I search "Phoenix custom paint", want this story to be found because it's a warning NOT to use this painter.

But, my page, the original content, is found BELOW a forum linking to my page: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=596318

YET, in both cases, pictures for my website are #1 in Google image search. (of course that's no help since Google made changes to image search. I'm down 60% in image search referrals since then)

Thank you for any advice!
