Well, the home page is not missing in the SERP, it is just that its appearing through the site search operator. Your home page is INDEXED all right, see the attached snapshot.

I believe earlier you had dynamic URLs for the pagination pages and now they are 301 redirected to their static URLs. But, Google has still indexed these URLs and they have the same title as the Home Page. For more understanding, check the link -

https://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1280&bih=699&q=site%3Awww.girls--games.com+%22Girls+Games+online+free%2C+Play+Games+for+girls%22&oq=site%3Awww.girls--games.com+%22Girls+Games+online+free%2C+Play+Games+for+girls%22&gs_l=serp.3...344114.344611.0.345331.4.4.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.i1JQeJ-0qO8

(It is still in the transition of updating the titles)

It will take some time for Google to do away with the old listings and have a clearer index. Also, you need to place a canonical tag on http://www.girls--games.com/new,1,1.html . The canonical tag should be of the Home Page (I assume you know the canonical tag).

Once these changes done, Google should gradually show your Home Page in site search.

Thanks for the answer Akhil. I checked the whole site again and received so many duplicate pages. Url are different but content are same and I know about canonical tag. But can you please be specific about the pagination section.

The description are almost same for every page which are coming through pagination link. Is this the cause with the site?

And I have another question how can I identify the duplicate url. because some time we face this type of url in a dynamic site, so is there any tool to identify the url or I have to use Xenu for tracking the link and after then check manually every link.

You are welcome Jasmeet. By Pagination I mean the URLs that come in the number section which is at the bottom of the page, i.e. 1 2 3 4 5 6 (and so on..). These pages were earlier dynamic and now they have been rewritten to their static schema.

On the description, I would strongly recommend to change them, you can have some dynamic description being generated that would prevent the load of manual editing of the meta description. On this being the issue?, well there are so many factors Jasmeet that I doubt to say this is the one, but yes, correcting this will definitely help the website in the over all performance and can help solve this one too.

Identifying the duplicate URLs in a website majorly depends on understanding the URL structure so that is one manual short way and if you want tools to do that work, there are a few:

1. G Site Crawler - This is a downloadable tool and identifies the URLs by crawling the entire site.

2. SEOMoz Pro - If you have a paid account for the campaign, they have duplicate issues as one of their errors to be reported. The excel later can be downloaded. No tool, runs on the Moz interface.

3. XENU - There is no particular classification of duplicate URLs so this may not be the appropriate one in this case.

Let me know if you need any more info,

Cheers,

Akhil
