Is Blogger Website is a yes/no signal that estimates whether a page is published on Google’s Blogger platform by looking for a specific static-resource signature in the document head. It returns 1 when the signature is found and 0 when it is not — an inference about the platform, not a verified fact about the CMS.

What it measures
Is Blogger Website estimates whether the page uses Blogger, inferred from a specific static-resource signature. It is a platform guess based on a single tell-tale reference in the head, not a definitive read of the underlying CMS. The factor records that the signature is present, nothing more.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear searches the head case-insensitively for www.blogger.com/static. A match returns 1 and no match returns 0. The check keys entirely on that static-resource string appearing in the rendered, script-free head — it does not otherwise fingerprint the template, the hosting, or the account behind the page.
What RankGear looks for
<!-- Blogger themes load static assets from this host -->
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
href="https://www.blogger.com/static/v1/widgets/...css">
// match (case-insensitive): www.blogger.com/static| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | A www.blogger.com/static reference was found in the head — the page is likely a Blogger site. |
| 0 | No such reference was found — no Blogger signature detected. |
How to optimize it
Treat this as descriptive context, not a target to move. There is nothing to optimize about being on Blogger or not. If the page is on Blogger, put the effort where the platform gives you control: content usefulness, theme semantics, titles, internal navigation, structured data, accessibility, and image performance. If you are weighing a move off Blogger, evaluate that migration on its own merits rather than because of this signal.
Important considerations
- Blogger pages without the signature can score 0 — the absence of the string does not prove the page is not on Blogger.
- An external Blogger resource referenced by a non-Blogger page can create a false positive.
- CMS choice alone does not determine rankings.
- Migration risk should be evaluated independently, not driven by this factor.
- This is a correlation-level signal within a measured result set, never a guarantee of ranking or a cause of it.
