Tess - I agree with Haley. In general, creative writing doesn't get a lot of views unless they are searching for you specifically. This means its up to you to market yourself so people learn they enjoy reading what you write and will start searching for you. Create a website and develop it into a site people will want to visit. Try a FB page and use relevant writing related posts. Get involved in online writers groups and listing sites. Put some work up on sites that review so you an post positive reviews of your work on your website. Start submitting stories to contests, journals and online sites. Add the list of sites and places where you are published to your website. It takes a ton of work to get readers for creative writing online when you are doing it yourself from scratch. Just don't give up and keep trying. Good luck!
To draw any web traffic (you still might not get much!) you have to think about what the reader would type in the search bar, just as with anything else. So instead of putting current title as the title, instead put "A Story About......." as the title, and put the actual title as a subtitle. It works for what I do poetry), but don't expect great hordes of people still - someone found one of my hubs and requested to animate it with my words as the narration in a London studio and now it is currently appearing at small film festivals! So it's always worth it, but probably not in the way you were thinking (it won't earn money - and it's still not!) Now that that has happened, I am planning on moving all my creative writing to my own site, but I didn't do that at first as no one knew my name.

If we only produce content that people are searching for, will this lead to better quality content ? Will this lead to the growth of the knowledge base? How will new knowledge enter the mainstream if content is only developed to satisfy current demand?

I have worked out that my adsense earnings seem to be growing by a dollar a month. Now by my reckoning that means I can retire in about 300 years, I wonder how ancient I shall look then, " as ancient as now methinks " " yeah but so are you ". " Yeah but I am a dollar better...
