Frank comment tells you what you should do, but if you don't want to do it, you can simply increase the number of Facebook "likes" with a very easy trick a found recently, first of all you must know that Facebook "likes" are likes and comments, so if you want to increase this number you can go to you Facebook and you will share this URL (change the privacy in order that nobody can see this status) then you will write comments in your own status, let's say 5 comments, finally you can go to the page and reload, you will see that you have 6 more Facebook "likes"...

It is not a way to solve your problem, but you can use it to reach your goal...
