Www and non www versions of the site: 301 redirects but I still get impressions on the wrong version

I moved from www.bastabollette.it to bastabollette.it, setting a 301 redirect.
If I check google search console, I still get impressions and looks like all old www pages are stille indexed. (see attached)

Bene!
I just crawl your site and i found that almost everywhere links are correct. PM me in private to sent you links that are http://www. or https://www.
BUT - the problem is that there isn't redirect 301 for the PDFs... Example: https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/MODULO-DISDETTA-CONTRATTO-CON-NOTE1.pdf should redirect to https://bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/MODULO-DISDETTA-CONTRATTO-CON-NOTE1.pdf but redirect won't happen and www return "200 OK". This is serious bug and affect all PDFs. Situation is even worse because this is also for CSS and JSs: https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/css/jetpack.css?ver=3.8.1 or https://www.bastabollette.it/cdn-cgi/scripts/zepto.min.js Yeah... could be worse? YES! Images too https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/logo2.png or https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Cattura-002.jpg
So why this is important? You was need to make unconditional sitewide 301 redirect to www to non-www. Your redirect is partial and seems that affect only html files. If you're in Apache just need to do this in .htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]If you're on other servers - LiteSpeed, nginx or IIS just contact me and i will provide commands for them.

hey Peter!
sto molto bene grazie!
grazie moltissime for your answer.

yes I already set preferred domain in SearchConsole
-
I did not set canonical pages to new domain BUT i 301 redirected all traffic for www to non-www. isn't that enough?
-
yes I changed wordpress so that default is now non-www
-
I am gradually changing all the links to the internal pages as well as all assets to non-www (but it's huge since I am doing manually.
Anyway since I 'told' google that my site is now non-www (submitting new site maps, setting up 301s and the configurations above) I really can't understand why google still indexes the old non-www.
Any hint?
Thank you again

Ciao Giorgio! Come stai?
Did you use set preferred domain in SearchConsole? https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/44231?hl=en
You also need to set canonical pages to new domain (non-www). And also change in WordPress that default is now non-www. And change link to all pages (internal) from www to non-www. And after this you need to change link to all assets (JS/CSS/Imgs/PDFs/etc) to non-www.I bet that your move was partial because some of point above isn't make correct.

Should Google Trends Match Organic Traffic to My Site?
When looking at Google Trends and my Organic Traffic (using GA) as percentages of their total yearly values I have a correlation of .47. This correlation doesn't seem right when you consider that Google Trends (which is showing relative search traffic data) should match up pretty strongly to your Organic Traffic. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Why isn't Google Trends correlating with Organic Traffic? Shouldn't they be pulling from the same data set? Thanks, Jacob

How can we stop Google analytics pulling in data from another site?
We have a few accounts under one Google login. They all have separate Google analytics codes but one of the sites is somehow pulling in some data from another site but the other site has not got the same analytics code on it. Not sure how this is happening and what we can do about this, is it a bug in the Google Analytics system? Any help would be appreciated.

Confirmation page gets hit multiple times by some users. How I can I segment out unique visits?
Hi All, I'm web marketing manager at http://www.evenues.com which is like an AirBnB for meeting space. When calculating the number of bookings for our meeting spaces, I've set up a goal in analytics with the confirmation page as the goal URL. The problem is, it seems that some users are looking at the same confirmation page several times. We have unique URLs for each confirmation page, but some users seem to be visiting these unique pages more than 2 to 5 times. This skews our numbers a bit. This makes things a bit problematic when it comes to segmenting visitors. is there anything we can so that each unique URL visited only counts once? Thanks, Kenji

Why did my site go from 1,000 Impressions to 0 impressions over the past couple days
so we have been doing a lot of reconstruction our website the past couple days with our navigation and moving stuff around. Now bare with me because i am a noob to SEO and i am still learning. But we went from a steady 800-1000 impressions everyday to a 0 since the first. you can check out our site here: www.hidguy.net Not sure if its because we are moving stuff around or what. But we can notice that our conversion rate has dropped and we have had traffic but no conversions and no orders. Is what we are doing bad or is this normal?

Has anyone noticed a dramatic drop in direct visits year over year in GA across multiple sites?
I monitor about 10 websites in GA. Many of these sites are in a stable phase of their lifecycle. I've noticed this year that direct visits on all my sites and even friends sites have dropped by 20-60%. Has anyone seen any explanation for this or noticed this when compared to previous year? In every instance I have no penalties, notices, anything and the drop is made up completely of "direct visits".

Site: Query Question
Hi All, Question around the site: query you can execute on Google for example. Now I know it has lots of inaccuracies, but I like to keep a high level sight of it over time. I was using it to also try and get a high level view of how many product pages were indexed vs. the total number of pages. What is interesting is when I do a site: query for say www.newark.com I get ~748,000 results returned. When I do a query for www.newark.com "/dp/" I get ~845,000 results returned. Either I am doing something stupid or these numbers are completely backwards? Any thoughts? Thanks, Ben

Something strange going on with new client's site...
Please forgive my stupidity if there is something obvious here which I have missed (I keep assuming that must be the case), but any advice on this would be much appreciated. We've just acquired a new client. Despite having a site for plenty of time now they did not previously have analytics with their last company (I know, a crime!). They've been with us for about a month now and we've managed to get them some great rankings already. To be fair, the rankings weren't bad before us either. Anyway. They have multiple position one rankings for well searched terms both locally and nationally. One would assume therefore that a lot of their traffic would come from Google right? Not according to their analytics. In fact, very little of it does... instead, 70% of their average 3,000 visits per month comes from just one referring site. A framed version of their site which is through reachlocal, which itself doesn't rank for any of their terms. I don't get it... The URL of the site is: www.namgrass.co.uk (ignore there being a .com too, that's a portal as they cover other countries). The referring site causing me all this confusion is: http://namgrass.rtrk.co.uk/ (see source code at the bottom for the reachlocal thing). Now I know reach local certainly isn't sending them all that traffic, so why does GA say it is... and what is this reachlocal thing anyway?? I mean, I know what reachlocal is, but what gives here with regards to it? Any ideas, please??
