There are lots of difference between the two. First, of course Forum is for sharing opinion and asking members my posting a thread while Blog is like making an article about a certain subject that depends on the topic of your blog.

A blog is where one person writes and other people can leave comments and stuff, and forums are where lots of people can talk and make different subjects and topics and have this large chat room type of thing going on.

Blog is place where we can share our thought and promote our website and Forum is question answer website where we can ask any question in particular category and also give answers in various forums.

forum is all about the discussion regarding specific topic or issue, where blog is about brief description of a issue or product..where user can give there own sort of thoughts and suggestions both on blogs and forums.

as per my opinion forum posting is the best techniques for promoting your website.

Both forum and blog are link building tactics. In forum, its more on asking questions and/or answering, and sharing about a particular thread. And the forum signature is just the plus factor of it. While in blog, you are writing articles for a specific topic or thread. Its more on giving facts and information. Writing for the readers sake and of course another way to boost your site.

Forum and blog commenting are extremely powerful tools for driving free, targeted traffic to your site, in addition to improving your site’s ranking with numerous quality back links.

Forums are specially designed websites that allow people with similar interests to chat by sharing messages.

Blogs, on the other hand, are typically operated by a single person, who posts messages relating to a specific topic. In most cases, readers have the opportunity to share their opinions on specific posts through comment sections.

The main differences between Blogs and Forums are:

- Forums are created for discussion between several people while Blogs are mainly designed for a single user input, with possibility for other people to comment.

So, Blogs are more like a simple homepage where other people may contribute with comments, but one person rules, blog owner, and blog owner can delete any comment he/she doesn't like. While, in forums, there could be thousands of people posting topic messages and also adding comments ...

When people try to use forums for the purpose of writing a journal, their messages get lost in the stream of messages, making it hard to follow the story.

Also, people tend to post many short messages inside forums, while blogs are more used for posting longer messages (on average).

CureZone Blogs have the option to post a comment on any and every Blog message, thus making a blog look like a discussion forum (every blog message becomes one little discussion forum).

Blog owner can choose whether or not to make comments visible to the public.

In Forum,we share our opinion and ask questions from members and also answer to their post.In blog we read blogs and post our views and idea about their post.

If you just want to express yourself in the internet, a blog might be the right tool for you. But if you want to participate in discussions that can sometimes turn into debates, joining a forum is what’s for you. There are multiple ways of gaining internet presence; you just have to choose your position.
