I have a wordpress blog. Is it possible to publish a link to facebook so that the published link on my facebook business page has the same like counter as the one on the blog?
Also, can the comments section be the same? (i.e. if I post the link on facebook, when someone comments, it automatically updates the comments section of the blog post and vice versa?)
This is not possible, each set of likes and comments are independent. There is no way to perform a merge of this data currently.
The Facebook Wordpress plugin provides essentially most of what you can do currently to link Wordpress to the Facebook API http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook
You can't link the like counter of your posts and pages to your Facebook page, why? They're all separate post and pages. It only makes sense.
What you can do? You can announce your post on Facebook (timeline or business page) and all can comment on it. You can add Facebook comments to your posts and pages. The commenter has the choice of that comment showing up in his Facebook timeline. People can "like" the post announcement, or the post itself if you have the Like button on it. They both act separately because for people to actually like your post, they have to visit the page. For analytics it makes sense because you want to know who is in your Facebook page and who actually clicks to visit your site. Both are not the same, and that's the point.
If you want to actually merge your site with Facebook, it will have to be in the form of a Facebook app. If that's the direction you want to take, I believe you can find some help here on the matter.

I was searching for a while, but probably I'm just not using the right keywords.
Right now I have two separate things:
1) Articles on my website. Each article has a facebook like/recommend this article button at the end of the article. I.e. you can scroll to the bottom of the article here - http://www.thecheers.org/Travel/article_4915_Ryanair---how-can-they-fly-with-their-prices.html - you'll probably see that there's a text next to the button saying that "13 people recommend this".
2) I have a facebook page which has also posted a link to this article there. The post on Facebook page has a couple of likes.
The question - how can I make it so that when someone clicks the Recommend button on my website, it would also update the number of post likes on my facebook page? Keeping in mind that I am not talking about Facebook page likes but individual facebook post/article likes.
Any ideas? IN theory, it sounds like it should be easy...yet right now it doesn't really look like it.
Number of likes on a Facebook publication can be only increased by "real people" liking via Facebook. No third-party integration or API can deal with likes counter.
I have Facebook comments social plugin integrated into my website. I was wondering if there is any way that user comments posted on my website would show up on out fan page as well? Something like User XYZ has commented on article ABC?
Sounds like custom functionality to me.

How do I know when someone comments on my site?
You can subscribe to the 'comment.create' and 'comment.remove' events through FB.Event.subscribe.
And that process is here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/
Create an app publish an action, on behalf of the page (NOT the user). But here's the kicker: if they don't have control over the privacy of it, you probably shouldn't use their name on your page wall, at least not their full name.
Facebook comments plugin - as far as I understand, if I have put the facebook comments plugin on a post web page, and the permalink of the post being commented on matches the base URL, then comments are stored via facebook using my post permalink.
Lets say if I post the permalink onto my facebook page wall (which I am the admin of), the open graph tags come into play, all the relavant data is pulled in, fb:admins, fb:app etc.
But is it possible to connect my facebook page (using my facebook page ID) to that permalink - so that comments posted on the page using comment plugin, connect/link with the post comments on my facebook page wall?
Thanks
This is currently not possible. We've implemented custom solution using Facebook Application and Facebook Javascript SDK on the website itself. You need to query the comments table of a specific Page post via FQL using your app access token from your server to retrieve all comments and render them on the page.
Then you need to provide user with several entry points for several states in order to enable posting for them. You need to solve four cases:
User doesn't like the page and didn't authorize your app
User doesn't like the page and authorized your app
User likes the page and didn't authorize your app
User likes the page and authorized your app
User needs to like your page and authorize your app with publish_stream permission in order to be able to comment on your page posts via your website. Of course you need to maintain reference between posts on your page and posts on your website.
The website where we did this a few years ago is BIGGBOSS click on "Komentáře" and find the same post on Facebook with the same comments.
As far as I understand your question its not possible to connect the comments from the commentbox, integrated in your non-facebook page (e.g a blog of yours), to the comments which are posted to a post on your fanpage.
The only solution would be to build an custom commentbox with the open-graph and publish the comments to the fanpagepost and additionally extract the comments out of the fanpage to display them on your blog.
But this requires accepting permission dialog before people are able to comment on your blog which would probably decrease the comments made. You would lose the benefit of the built-in commentbox.
being surfing a while on a topic.

The problem is, I have a WordPress site and I've used FB Share and FB Like plugins (free) for displaying on each posts. I also have a fan page of the website where I regularly update about every post I do on website. But for example if someone like that post on FB fanpage, then it dosen't reflect on to my website's Fb Like counter.
Example, If one post receives 10 likes on FB fanpage, then that same post on my website just have 2 likes. Basically, I want to sync these like between my website's post and the post that I link then to Fb fanpage.
Do revert back to this. Anything from your end would be helpful. Thanks in Advance.
We need to designate that the content being liked on FB and the content being liked on your WP Site are not one in the same. If it is liked on FB, the count will not show up on your page(and vise versa).
There's not a lot you can do. This is very much a part of how Facebook works.
However, it's a good idea to keep your content organized with Open Graph. Hope this helps.

I'm using the Facebook Comment plugin for comments on my site. I was hoping that comments made to links shared on my Facebook Page would also show up on my website.
For example, if I share a link to a blog post on my Facebook Page, and someone comments directly to that shared link, that comment does not also appear on the website.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to sync these two?
I think comments are self-contained. You could maybe use the API to build something that shares comments on your page with comments on your blog.
