    Neither. But forums have the benefit that someone might read your posts and visit the site.
    Signature
    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

      Not in the SEO context. If you're a really good writer and keep it up, maybe you can become an authority on a forum of some sort. Doesn't mean anything.

    In my opinion, forum posting is much better! However, it is good as long as you are really contributing to that forum but not just use it for spamming your link all over it! In addition, you don't have to be an expert to contribute to any forum. You just have to make sure that you are active member that posts valuable info!

      This is a good example of how not to do it. At this point I know that Brandboyz is a forum spammer that only posts non-helpful one-liners.

    either. Your premise is flawed because you're trying to do the job of an expert by yourself.

    Would you defend a lawsuit yourself? No, you'd hire a lawyer.

    Would you do surgery on yourself ? No, you'd go to the hospital.

    Would you file your corporate taxes yourself? No, you'd hire an accountant.

    Marketing is no different. You are, in theory, a expert in your business, not in the business of marketing. And that's obvious because you wouldn't ask the question otherwise.

      Social bookmarking isn't the same as social networking.

    Forum posting is more effective because Forum have many rules and regulation. If we follow the rule then we are safe.In the forum we learn many things. So I prefer Forum is Best.
