You could have a blog that's not updated very often, making it just about the same as a normal, static website. But people are looking for new, updated info too...for just about any topic. Having a frequently updated site also helps position you as an expert on that topic. Presumably, if you can continue to write about a topic over time, you must be serious about it and have some sort of expertise to offer. Ranking for long tail keywords is also useful but isn't a silver bullet. You may only get a few visitors for some random long tail keyword, but if you have a large site full of useful content, those one-off visitors can add up over time. Just a few thoughts.
