Facebook Like Quick Question

[ocelot]

What is best practice for the Facebook like button, when a user clicks on like on your webpage should this go to your facebook page our should it contain your website url?

The reason being is that on my homepage it shows as 5 likes but when going to my facebook page it is only showing 1 like?  So where are the other 4 likes going?

Any ideas on what is going wrong or what I have set up wrong?

The like box is on

I prefer "shares" rather than "likes" as they appear in News Feed. You should also keep in mind that if clocking on your FB box takes people to FB they might stay there and I guess you would rather have them browsing your site.

As for the difference in likes, there are two types of "like" boxes you can have one to "like" your website and one to "like" your FB Page.

It appears that you have the Facebook like button setup for the URL. This will help as a social signal for search engines. HEre is a good related Q&A Post about setting up Facebook likes for a page vs a URL.

I have it set-up to like my pages in the footer of the footer of the website but then on individual pages (product pages) this likes the page so that it is share though their facebook.. Id rather them like my page then i can maybe push more content through to users in the future.
