If you subscribe to a social networking service like MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, Twitter, or even Youtube you already know how to get viewership. First, we’ll shift some of that viewership to your website; to do this, just ask your “friends” or “subscribers” to visit your site. Next, provide incentive. For example, write about a useful piece of information or even give away coupon/promo code.

For the more common ways to receive viewership:
- Register your website through dmoz.org this makes you search-able through most major search engines.
-Update your meta tags in your html code. There are even programs that help you do that now.
-Pay for it: use Google Adwords (Basically the opposite of Adsense).

I personally use Dreamhost.

Now you may have heard about free web hosting as well, and it does exist. But the reason I strongly recommend a paid service like Dreamhost (and use it myself), is that a paid service allows you to fully own your own domain (ex. www.domain.com), whereas a free service only gives you a subdomain (ex. www.subdomain.domain.com/something else). You can see how the latter is more confusing, whereas the first is easy to remember and adds legitimacy to your business. The cost for a host is low enough that I STRONGLY recommend using Dreamhost. I even got a promo code for all of you, which can give you free registration: it’s
