Forum or Blog?

[hoangvu]

Which one will you choose when starting a new project or your promotions and why?

I personally will go with a blog because it allows me to get more visitors in my niche. I found that most people like commenting on blog posts and many just wanted to read the information thus I used a blog!

What about you?

Generally, I recommend blogs. Forums are not easy to run and promote and they involve a lot of effort, time and investment. Also forums requires more than one or two moderators to maintain forum activity. But in the end, choosing whether to go for a blog or a forum depends also on the type of your project.

I choose first Blogs it get more traffic and visitors. Blog post only spread to all users so i go with blogs.

It is the period of content writing and in future the concept of digital marketing depends on content, so why not be part of content as choose the forum or blog, it matters what are your thoughts.

I recommended you to blog because as per today's marketing strategy forum is more difficult to promote in compare to blog.

Forums are very hard to run but it is good to gain traffic and users more then a blog so I recommended forums is more beneficial

You are right scarlettjack. You have a more man power to maintain the forum otherwise its just a bunch of spams... Instead, blog is good and not any chance of spam and easily maintain.

It all depends really. If writing is your thing, then a blog would probably be more effective. But it depends on what you like doing.

Blogging is best platform which used for sharing contents on interested topics, attract visitors to your website through blog. You can easily to maintain blog.
Forum is popular platform which is used for discussion on particular topic. You create good reputation on it. You cant do any kind of marketing, promotion on it. it is used for discussion on topics.
I think blog is most useful for fully promotion for website, attract visitors to your website and after do micro blogging for catching good promotion.

I would go with a blog. It's much easier to handle all the conversation going in than a forum where there is a billion spam going in all the time.

Also more people just want the blog information better because it's much simpler.

I would prefer forum in compare to blog.. Through forum you can discuss and create huge community for selected niche..

 

[prolimehost]

very easy to select blog if you think you need better seo and less interaction and forum if you want more interaction with your clients or customers, blog is easy to install and manage and forum is much harder to manage

For a corporate website, both forum and blog are important things. Through a blog, you can present updated information to your customers / readers while a forum is important in interacting with the customers and potential customers.
