Blogs Have A Chance in SERPS?

Was wondering if blogs actually have a chance competing against other giants in industry? I'm not looking to be #1 in <snip> but my question is do blogs have the same capability of ranking as other ordinary websites? The information I am getting is they are search crawler friendly and possibilities are there.

There's no reason that a blog cannot do well - but it would need to employ the techniques that 'standard' sites use.

Blogs (similar to news sites) are treated rather differently; they can do well for a while, quite easily, and do well against other blogs with blog-type promotion. But to do well long term would need approproiate methods - blog-type promotion won't cut it for the long term.
