    I don't know if this will help you out or not. But as a frequent visitor to many blog sites, I do not find any enjoyment in reading comments left by others on the blog. But, for some reason, the opposite is true when it comes to forums.

    So, as far as getting noticed by visitors on a blog, maybe not so good, unless it's the main article. But, probably getting linked in seo will work out okay.

    I think blog comments are effective for the SEO more than human curiosity. But forums seem to gather a great deal of human interest. Don't know if you agree with that, it's just my own preference (from the "visitor" point of view).

    Forum posting would be the easiest to build and quicker but blogs would be slightly more effective because of the content and variation.
    But yeah you should use both.

    I think both methods are highly effective, but I prefer blog commenting or forums because I think that it is way more interactive.

    If you can find the same amount of relevant forums that are do follow as blogs, Then forums. But then again they aren't different things. Blogs and forums are both websites. if you get your link on them, Theres no difference.

    So whats better
    1. Forums
    2. Blogs

    I choose 3. Both :)

    You'll find it much easier though if you find a few niche forums and get involved with them. Alot less tedious

    I think that they're both good but if i had to choose one, it would be forum posting because not all blogs will give you a link, but if you're part of a good forum, you always get a link for your posts. Some blogs block links through "no follow" tags.

    When it comes to link building I don't think any one method should be used but rather a combination of as many methods as you can

    I vote blog posting. Of course, your posts should be content-rich blog posts and not just single sentence comments on random blogs.

    Forum posting because you can use your keyword on your signature.
