    i want to open somewhere for my everyday mutterings and ramblings, either it will be a forum with a general chat area...or a blog

    i am erring on the side of blogging as it kinda seems made exactly for that, but which makes more financial sense? forum/blog?

    Tia....

    Blog more then forum as people will develop ad blindness quickly with a forum and most of them are there for the messages and not the ads or any links devoiding them off the forum.

    I agree with Kngavl. A blog would be best suited

    Blog is suitable because it gives you more money than forum in usual cases but there are acceptional cases alot in forums too.

    I suggest to start with blog! :)

    if you go with a forum, do how like DP does it. Put it after the first post. OR right below the last post above the quick reply.

    Why not both? you can put your ideas in a blog and then have a forum for people to discuss similar topics. This may be more than you want to take on all at once but it should be a pretty good way to keep some repeat visitors on your blog.

    If you do decide to put AdSense on both a blog and a forum be sure to watch click thru rates on the forum very closely. I have heard advertisers say that AdSense CTR is so low on forums that smart pricing lowered payouts for their blogs.

    GO with a blog, becasue forums are so hard to get going. Blogs, it all you.
