I have a blog that has been #1 in google for its search term for close to a year now. I haven't even updated in all that time because I haven't needed to. It isn't a hugely searched term, but it is very targeted. I got some decent traffic to the site and have some nice sign-ups.
About 3 weeks ago it dropped to between 3-4 in the rankings. I haven't updated or done anything to get my top spot back because I have been too busy with other stuff and a little lazy. The odd thing is, while traffic is down about 20%, sales for the site are now up about 25%. I guess maybe people check out the other sites and by the time they get to mine they are sick of seeing all the similar content and are ready to join.
Kind of odd, but if it continues to happen, I'll take it.
