I think this was perhaps from a couple of years ago or more, when "non-blog web sites" were difficult/complicated, required knowing "HTML" and so on, none of which is still the case.
The people I know in affiliate marketing started off with their own web sites, of course, but not using blogs
per se.
In these days of simple, non-HTML web site builders, and blogging software with static pages, there's virtually no difference, really: a blog is just a web site that's been specifically designed to be regularly updated, but so many other types of web site can also be regularly updated now that it's very nearly a meaningless distinction.
Many imagine that it's "better to use a blog because Google loves blogs", but I understand it isn't the fact that they're blogs (i.e. made from software originally designed for blogging purposes) that Google really loves; it's just the fact that they're regularly updated web sites - which all search engines identify and crawl, whatever they were made from.
