Hello Moosa,
I really appreciate your answer on my question! Let me do it first...

Common case! In my personal experience there is no need of changing or removing pages from the sub domain!
Remember Google is picking up your review page because Google is finding it more relevant but what if the most relevant page according to Google link to another page that you want to rank?
I think you should link from your review page to the home page plus get some more good links that should target your home page and wait for the next crawl!
Probably this issue will be resolved!

Your Home Page is http://www.bannerbuzz.com/ while your Reviews are on http://reviews.bannerbuzz.com/review/18/Vinyl-Banners.
The first problem is that your Home Page is on the "www" subdomain while your Review Page is on the "reviews" subdomain. Subdomains are treated as separate websites by Google and so they are basically competing against each other for the same keywords.
I recommend moving your reviews to a sub-directory under the www subdomain so that your Reviews will have the URL like the following: http://www.bannerbuzz.com/reviews/18/Vinyl-Banners/
Your Review page has a lot more Text content than your Home Page. If you want to boost the rankings for your Home Page, make sure to increase its Text content.
Also, since you sell different types of banners, I reckon the Home Page shouldn't be the Landing Page for "vinyl banners". You should use one of your Vinyl Banner Category Pages instead:

Will redirecting a logged in user from a public page to an equivalent private page (not visible to google) impact SEO?
Hi, We have public pages that can obviously be visited by our registered members. When they visit these public pages + they are logged in to our site, we want to redirect them to the equivalent (richer) page on the private site e.g. a logged in user visiting /public/contentA will be redirected to /private/contentA Note: Our /public pages are indexed by Google whereas /private pages are excluded. a) will this affect our SEO? b) if not, is 302 the best http status code to use? Cheers

International Targeting - Google Search Console not recognizing the tags
Hi, We are facing a problem with international targeting not being recognized by the Google Search Console. This is the URL to which we added the following tags: URL: http://kilgray.com/memoq/2015-100/help-en/index.html TAGS: Flang tool Result: http://screencast.com/t/rrBgcr1X Search Console result: http://screencast.com/t/fP45ZR2c I am a bit lost here, as the tags were validated also from different members of the community. Is this because of the frames? (Yes, the site is built in frames). Thanks for your help!

Sudden drop in Google with our top performing keywords
Hi, I'm writing about the sudden drop in our keyword rankings from our site www.activitybreaks.com. Our keywords that have significantly seen a drop have been activity holidays was 8th now 16th Adventure holidays was 15th now 71st We have been listed on the first page for a number of keywords but these has suddenly dropped in the last couple of days. We did receive a notice on the 19th May from Google stating that they detected unnatural links. So we spent a couple of weeks getting the links removed and have re-submitted the site on 11th June. When I go into Google webmaster there is no reply from Google as yet and the links are still showing even though we know they have been removed. We also noticed in the last couple of days that we had a duplicate home page but this has now since been removed. Should we re-submit our site to Google for reconsideration or wait to they get back to us. Is there anything else we can be doing to fix this situation. Let me know if you have any ideas! Anything is appreciated, thanks. Naomi
