I don't know about how ethical it is and stuff but perhaps trying to get
hcoop high on google's lists for common search terms related to hosting is
one way of giving the coop some publicity. I believe the term in vogue is
"google bomb".

Another (extremely crude) slashdot related method might be to post now and
then with a sigblock that links back to hcoop.

Another way would be to encourage existing users to use one of the "hosted
on hcoop" badges on their sites linking back to hcoop.net.

All of these are rather crude but it's advertising we're talking about
aren't we? I think the only really elegant way is by word of mouth.
