Combining Facebook likes of URL and Facebook page

Tags:

facebook

Can I combine the Facebook Likes for the URL of my website with the Likes for the Facebook Page of my website?

Specifically: 38k people have "Liked" the fan page for Academic Earth and appear at http://www.facebook.com/academic...

However, an additional 16k people have "Liked" the URL of our homepage (http://academicearth.org/) but they don't show up on our Fan Page.

Is there any way for me to let Facebook know that this URL corresponds to our Facebook page so that those 16k appear on our Facebook Page?Edit

I don't think this is possible, since your website and the Facebook page are treated like two different objects.

What I would suggest is promoting your Facebook Page in your website, you can retrieve the number of likes by querying this URL:

https://graph.facebook.com/academicearth

Result:

{
   "id": "11544573198",
   "name": "Academic Earth",
   "picture": "http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/hs464.snc4/50284_11544573198_2934981_s.jpg",
   "link": "http://www.facebook.com/academicearth",
   "category": "Website",
   "website": "http://academicearth.org\n",
   "username": "academicearth",
   "mission": "Academic Earth is an organization founded with the goal of giving everyone on earth access to a world-class education.\n\nAs more and more high quality educational content becomes available online for free, we ask ourselves, what are the real barriers to achieving a world class education?

So you can have the link for FB Page and next to it, Join the 39662 fan on our Facebook page!
