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.
I think blogs have a lot of advantages that help it rank as well. First the fact they are updated frequently is a plus in Google's eyes. Second, they aren't really a threat in Google's eyes either. They typically aren't getting an abundance of links with anchor text and they typically have more naturally looking content than someone who built a page strictly for SEO. You fly under their radar for the most part and reap the rewards. Seems like you know what you are doing though.
