Some notes :

I think you did a bit too much optimization on your page with too often the same keyword / key expression.

Try to use more synonyms (especially in alt attributes), that may not help for your main key expression but that will help to improve your long tail.
It will also look more natural.

You have a duplicate content issue with your home page.
It's accessible at .com and .com/index.php. It's an issue. You can fix that easily in PHP.

I think your home page would do with some extra textual content.

Then to check why he is in front, check out his net linking:
Site Explorer - Search Results

compared to yours :
Site Explorer - Search Results

Maybe they have done some serious work on netlinking recently. Try to get the same links and if possible with a proper anchor text (ie : clickable part of the link containing your keywords)

Don't focus on page rank.

good luck with that

I have used a 301 redirect Ashmore Wedding Videos. Cork based. Wedding Video and Wedding DVD. -> Ashmore Wedding Videos. Cork based. Wedding Video and Wedding DVD.

That is a very good practice. I've seen it was in place the other day.

Should I use a 301 redirect Ashmore Wedding Videos. Cork based. Wedding Video and Wedding DVD. - > Ashmore Wedding Videos. Cork based. Wedding Video and Wedding DVD.
Thanks for looking at my site

yes, do so.
It's a quick change in your PHP.

can I use two 301 redirects in the .htaccess file?? I already have one in it.

 

[gbonnet]

Yes.
Simply add a different line.

Note, I'm not very used to handling .htaccess files. I prefer doing redirects like this directly in the php.

Have to look into getting the code for the php redirect.
