Depends on the terms. Typically blogs get a lot of traffic because they have an immense amount of content. I bet if you look at your stats a majority of the traffic is coming from smaller, non-competitive terms. You can get a lot because of the content, which adds up to be a lot of traffic. However, if you're targeting a term that is highly competitive, it is next to impossible to rank with a new site in a short period of time. A lot depends on the industry too. Targeting mortgage for instance is usually held down longer than a site talking about garden supplies.
