You thought the word ‘blog’ is an abbreviation of web log but some have discovered a better meaning of the word Blog. They define it as "Better Listing on Google."
Kevin O’ Keefe, who gets credit for this discovery, says that regular supply of new content, highly relevant content and incoming links from other relevant sites are the prime reasons why "blogs" perform better in Google Search results.
"Regular content updates = frequency does help some, but it’s the many keywords and key phrases that relevant users may search for that you will have by accumulated posts as well as the links you will draw by more posts that bloggers and news sites will link to."

This is right on Target. And this is applicable in more than one way. Although blogs (and forums) list better than most sites because of the reasons mentioned above, there is another way in which blogs are used big time.
Corporates, Product Website, etc. use blogs to get their main site to list better on Google all the time.

On the other hand, a quick Google reveals that this is not a new concept at all. Here are posts from 2005 which mention this:

Thanks for referencing that part of my presentation Amit. Note that Blog meaning Better Listing On Google is something I picked up in a publication somewhere a few years ago, not something I came up with on my own – I think I mention that in the audio that accompanies the PPT.
As I tell folks, I haven’t had an original thought in 20 years.

That is very funny and also very true! I think that would make more sense to digital immigrants than “web log”…

I think many popular/news/forum traffic web sites now have a blog section – probably to direct visitors to those sites…

That should be right!. Website popularity is a direct indication of its listing in google.
