Home page is not the highest ranking page?

[CFSSEO]

Our websites do not have the home page as the first page in the search engines.  It's something benign like the privacy policy page or the directions page!

I've thought of adding no index to the privacy page, but then the directions or contact page would show up instead of the home page.

One odd thing I've noticed, is that on our link to the home page on our menu and footer, the link is /default.aspx?mb=rte.  But that shouldn't make a difference and default.aspx should rank first, right?

What can we do to fix this?
