I do not know the answer… But what I would do is this:
Post the same question on webmasterworld.com
Lots of people there will know the answer to this one.

I wouldn’t worry about it. But next time you hire someone to get links for you, ask them where they’re going to be getting those links. Make it clear you don’t want links from blogs.
If someone reports your site to google for blog spamming, you site may get banned. If someone reports your site to the affiliate site for blog spamming, your account may get closed. Be careful.

Chris
You will likely be penalized for this, the question is when.
I would drop all the links like hot potatoes. But then, I am in this for the long run and wouldn’t risk 5 years of work for some fast push that will likely end in my dropping out of sight when found out.
Maybe go to the new blog and ask the owner to remove the links from the old blog.
OK .. Hate to admit I am so behind the times but …
I know nothing about blogging, and have not taken the time to learn as I am so busy with a bazillion other things.
What exactly is blog spamming? .
I paid someone to make blogs for a few of my sites because he convinced me it was the thing to do.
Should I NOT have blogs for my sites?
‘Splain it to me please.
. .
Having blogs is good.
People will post senseless things or just plain crap on blogs, with their site as signature, just to have a link coming from the blog to their site.
There are even automated blog spamming programs out there.
If the search engine catches it, the spammer will be penalized.
Unless you want to go completely Black Hat SEO I don’t recommend anyone do it – it puts all your hard work at risk.
I really don’t think you need to worry about a penalty for the situation you described, Full Tilt. If getting someone penalized were as simple as making a few spammy blog posts to a site, everyone would be “Google-bowling” everyone else’s sites right out of the SERP’s all day every day. Just focus on getting good backlinks the right way moving forward and consider it a lesson learned.
Thanks Dom,
So, as long as my blog has informative stuff actually pertaining to the content of my site, then I’m not blog spamming?
The guy who did my blogs also put up links from a lot of other blogs.
Is that part blog spamming?
No. Blog spamming is if you went to other people’s blogs and made an entry saying: “I agree with everything said here” and left your site as signature.
You do this to 100 blogs and all the signatures you left are counted as links from the blogs to your site and increase your PR.
You have absolutely nothing to worry about except having to clean up after a bunch of people who will be spamming your blogs.
Well, maybe you have to worry about me complaining about your not linking to me with your topic related blog……
But how does having a blog on her site, help LasVegasLady’s SERP showing? I’d like to better understand that, too..
A blog is just a type of website. It can help a website if you put good stuff on the blog pages, as with any static webpage.
>> On my travels I have seen some sportsbooks have hundreds if identical blogs on blogspot, all pointing at each other over and over.
Some have the sportsbook above the content. Some just a banner and bundles of links to the sportsbook.
I can’t see Google smiling upon it’s usage of bandwidth for such seo techniques for long. Blogger.com has implemented procedures to stop the auto opening of multiple blogs anyhow.
