JustBallGloves.com Covers Bases With JustGloves.com

Sports firm buys necessary but costly domain name for its business.

JustBallGloves.com is an online store that sells, well, just ball gloves. The site features baseball and softball gloves from all the major manufacturers. Compete.com suggests the site gets regarding 10,000 uniques a month.

But let’s face it, JustBallGloves.com is probably often remembered as JustGloves.com. Compete.com shows the latter gets regarding 1,000 uniques a month.

The solution? JustBallGloves.com has purchased JustGloves.com for $30,000 as stated by Sedo’s recent sales section. That’s a stiff price, but easily justifiable given the amount of traffic. It’s more a lesson in “covering all your bases ahead of you launch” (sorry, couldn’t resist).

Now when you type in JustGloves.com it forwards to the main site at JustBallGloves.com.
