Where do the Google Trends Blog Results Come From?
When you do a search on Google Trends, the blogs listed under “Blog Posts” are the most relevant blogs for the search terms found in the Google Blog Search Engine. The Google Blog Search Engine is a search engine specifically for blogs and is separate from Google Web Search.
Thus, your blog could be indexed and visible on Google Web Search regardless of whether or not it is picked up by as a blog and included in the Blog Search Engine.
