    If you have got real skills to create a proper forum i would prefer that go for it coz it attracts people and in near future people will crave for forums

    Based on my experience blogs can rank easier than forums. If its a blog you can easily control the keyword density and such. you can even target your niche. But if its a forum you will need to gather members and you will need to get them active to rank.

    I personally think that maintaining a blog is much more easier task than starting a forum. The greatest threat on a forum are the spammers and the copy pasters, they could ruin your efforts and money.

    I think it's well known Google and the other search engines love blogs, simply because it is a social nest

    Yeah this is what I mean and I thank you for posting your thoughts. That is why I said Google both prefer forums and blogs and contents that are new and updated is always the key.

    I vote for blog, forum is very hard for rank. But everything is possible.

    Hi,

    I think the reason behind so-called better and easier ranking of blogs or forums would result in those hot blogs or forums would usually come with more fresh and quality contents and posts.

    all the best,

    Google loves both forums and blogs, what they really love is fresh content, which both tend to provide

    I think blogs performs better as compared to when if you can generate lots of quality posts on regular basis

    blogs get indexed and rank a lot faster. Forums are harder in the start, easier to maintain.
