        1.  When you change that setting in GWT, it takes a while to have an effect.

        2.  You also need to implement a 301 redirect so that plugnbuy.com redirects to www.plugnbuy.com.

          You will also need a redirect for index.php (or index.html or index.aspx) to www.plugnbuy.com.

          Your site has not yet launched, so you don't need to panic yet.

            Hi Huey, if you look around for "canonical URLs" you should get a lot of information advising you how to do this.

            The easiest way to do this is with a 301 redirect via a .htaccess file. This can sort both the non www. and the /index.php issues.

              Hi Huey

              I am agree with Ben's answer 301 redirection is best way to solve this problem. It was happen because your website might be open with or without www. so this code will help you in sticking one domain.

              RewriteEngine On

              RewriteBase /

              RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.plugnbuy.com$ [NC]

              RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.plugnbuy.com/$1 [L,R=301]

              Write this code in .htaccess file and upload this file in your FTP Server.

              After applying this code you have to set preferred same domain via Configuration setting in Google webmaster tool.
