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.

Not small terms but definately not the most competitive either. I'm not so shit hot at getting those listings before or after a sandbox.
What I mean is, some of the mid range but still popular terms always do better for me on a blog. Even if I had put the same content on a regular site the backlinks and quick indexing make the blog win. Also, I have had sites get in google for a couple of weeks then disappear for months but so far never happened to a blog optimized to get backlinks etc automatically.
