If your content is hosted on Blogger and it is high quality you will naturally attract quality links from related websites. These are very valuable in Google's eye and will boost your ranking accordingly.

FYI, one thing many people get confused about with SEO is how Google actually works.

That's why you hear him occasionally "hearing" about ranking factors. That's because he's not part of the team that actually determines them. And spam control algorithms do not determine a page's ranking. That part of the algorithm tries to weed out junk and cheaters. Things like domain authority won't help you rank better.
