    Both. They were good in building your websites/blogs. Good Luck.

    I do not know for sure, but I believe that the social is better because you will post on various sites, not just in one.

    Obviously, you'll have to test to be certain, but in general you want backlinks from sites with a high page rank, regardless of whether they're forums or social networking. The best advice I can give you is to use both -- good targeted traffic is good targeted traffic. :)

    Both have same value - as it is dependent on the quality of the backlink you are getting - you could get forum backlinks but still that forum has got no value then the backlink is wasted same for social network sites...

    Hope this helps...

    For backlinking it depends on whether that forum or social networking sites use "dofollow" attribute or not however for getting traffic you should use multiple options.

    Well i will say that if you are just asking about backlinks, then i will vote for Do follow forums, and if you are asking about overall SEO, then no doubt Social Bookmarking and Social Networking websites are best way.
    But You should use both these when you are doing SEO..
    Thanks

    I would say both, but I think social networking is more time consuming!:)
