Is there a market for publishing short stories online?


I have some short stories and would like to publish them (not to make money just so as many people as possible can read them). I have the means to publish the stories to the Internet – is there a market for this? Do I have the potential to get a large base of readers if the stories are good and the site is found on the search engines?
Note: I don’t want to make ANY money from this

I am a web designer and search engine optimiser by trade so I can publish the works myself – I’m asking – is there a market out there for it? I.e. Is there the potential to get a lot of traffic.

    First get to know how good you are.
    Why not join an online forum

    Most authors know journals barely pay if at all and online journals generally don’t pay at all.

    However, if you want to see your work in print. Try these:

    Spoon River Creative Writers has a new Ezine –it’s a cool website and a solid organization. The Ezine should be worthwhile. Nothing to join here. The website also has good links.
    For prose only.
    –Lists journals both electronic and paper. This is a good place to start exploring the world of publishing either electronically or in print.

    Best of luck.
