'm thinking forum might rank faster and higher than a blog, what do y'all think??
 
Forum is better. However, at the beginning you have to offer some incentive to have the users participate and stay.
 
Forum are a thing of past, most people go to Facebook groups, quora, stackflow and reddit. Bhw and a few are rare exceptions.
Having said that there are more chances of success with blog then forum, if you are still not convinced then roll the dice!

Ofcourse its a Forum.
 
Forum is good, and better in ranking.
 
Blog if you are targeting less members , blog would rank faster , but forum activity ranks it better .
 
chicken and egg problem with the forum. but you can try treating it LIKE a blog and seed it as such with great content, maybe you'll get the best of both worlds...

btw, forums are REALLY high maintenance and you gotta know what you're doing in terms of keeping it secured. seen too many great forums go to 0 from hacks =(
 
The question is a bit unclear to me.

Are you not sure if you want to start a blog or forum?

Or do you not know what you want to use to increase your rankings? Use a forum comments or blog comments?
 
If the forum stays active - people would rank it themself. Just producing new content every single day.
Just make the forum really interesting for members to regularly visit

Blogs can potentially rank better than forums in search engines like Google if they have high-quality content optimized for search engines, a well-structured URL, and a user-friendly design. Forums can rank well with a large and engaged community, relevant and useful content, and high-quality backlinks.
 
Nothing pinches your heart more then running into an abandoned or deserted forums. If you can't promise it will be active for years to come somehow, don't do it to yourself.

Wow is ranking no:3 on Google, so easy, let me go get a new domain, and start duplicating this thread lol.

Forum is better
What for a topic? Adult,drugs?
If yes blog
I just wanna write blog topics but in a forum, just for ranking purpose.

I'm looking for the best alternative, what I'm writing is blog content, if forum ranks better, I'll write blog content on forum instead of blog.
