Hi,

I just had a question. I have moved the page with the most relevant content related to my site to it's new position as "home page". Before, you had to go through my previous home page and click a link to it.

It just makes more sense for me to have it be the page you see upon entering my site.

The problem is that Google has indexed several pages to my site. So all the links to my homepage that were indexed, go to this new page. Which is what I want.
But, all of the old indexes for the page as it was in it's previous position within my site, go to something completely different than what is described in Google's index.

Will this correct itself in the next update, or do I need to do something to correct it?

I hope this makes sense. I'll try to clarify if it doesn't.

Thanks guys

As Google crawls your site, it will come across the changes and will fix the SERP's accordingly. There is not much else you can do. With the update schedule all mixed up, it's hard to say how soon your changes will show up. It could happen very quickly, or take a few weeks.
