Wanted: Website Review Which way should I go? Blog or Forum?

[mally]

Hello all.

I'm looking at improving and adding to the following website.

Residual Income

I'm thinking about adding a review of all uk business opportunities I can find.

My thoughts are if I use it as a forum, people hopefully will join and write reviews for their opportunities. The beauty of mlm/network marketing, people are always looking to spread the word in the hope of a sale/signup..

Do you think the forums the way to go or maybe stick with a blog?

I think a website would be easier to get started compared to a forum. Forums can look quiet at first and be difficult to get going as people are put off joining (unless you would pay forum posts) - there would also be more moderation required when busy.

If you go down the blog/website route, people would still be able to leave reviews in the form of comments (just tweak the wording and perhaps add star ratings too).

Great reply, yep I've got experience with forums and all you need is a few people to get interested and start posting regular to kick it off..

I'm wondering if free tools might help, for example I added a template people could use which I've found works well with google and adsense
