www.Parctel.com: What has Airport Parking got to do with the title; "Click Throughs Happen"?

Stay with me whilst I wander all over the airport parking lot gathering my thoughts together. On a daily basis I wade through hundreds of references to Airport Parking, partly as an obsession, partly to find inspiration, partly because a major part of this news site is dedicated to interesting stories and links to Airport Parking. Of course we at Parctel also get to 'meet' some interesting people that certainly brighten our lives up.

The following item was posted in the Orlando Business Journal:

Parking fees at Orlando International Airport took off again at the beginning of this month -- something less-expensive off-site parking proprietors want to parlay into more paying customers for themselves.

The daily parking fee at Orlando International's satellite parking lots went up by $1 on Oct. 1, making it $10. In addition, non-guest valet parking at the airport's Hyatt hotel now will cost $23 per day, instead of $21.

"Hopefully, this will mean more business for us and all off-site lots -- but mostly us," laughs Doug Yuen, general manager of Park to Fly on Frontage Road.

His lot charges $7.99 per day, an amount that increases to $9.19 when airport fees and taxes are factored in.

And in the sidebar of the above story is a reference to an off site airport parking lot named; "Park Bark and Fly". As far as business and domain names are concerned, this is one that really makes you want to have a closer look, especially seeing that it is difficult to get the correlation between 'parking' and 'barking'. A quick Google search and I was on the site.

It turns out that they have 'partnered' with Dog MaHall and Cats 2, which is a luxury pet hotel in the Florida area around one mile from the Orlando International Airport. And THAT is where I got stumped because when I clicked through to the DogMaHall site the bandwidth limit had been exceeded - "The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit." Damn.

Valuable lessons for site owners.
