      Hi.  I was wondering if others have had this happen to them.  Lately, I've noticed that on a couple of my sites the homepage no longer appears in the Google SERP.  Instead, a Facebook page I've created appears in the position the homepage used to get.

      My subpages still get listed in Google--just not the homepage.  Obviously, I'd prefer that both the homepage and Facebook page appear.

      Any thoughts on what's going on?

      Thanks for your help!

        Yes it is most likely a DNS problem. You either have the page redirecting to your Facebook IP or you have some sort of a hack. If you run your URL through the system built to you if you have malware http://sucuri.net/ if you do not have any malware. And you send me your URL and I will look either DNS and tell you what the problem is.

        I hope I can be of help.

        Sincerely,

        Thomas

          wait you treated a Facebook page has a homepage? So you did point your TNS to your Facebook account? this is the problem and you should really never want to promote your Facebook account over your soul site. All of these traffic is going simply to 8 site you do not have ownership of however you do have of course your profile there and you may have advertising regardless you want both your website and your Facebook site up at the same time on with twitter and all the other fun stuff. Please explain to me the process in which you created the Facebook page secondly it could be that you have a down server or page and went you Google it you're getting the cash result and that is leading you to the only page with a viable Live link on it your Facebook page. Please private message me if you feel more comfortable doing that or send it via the message board just your URL of the great and I would build that whole you everything wrong. (Hopefully)

          all the best,

          Tom
