    Okay I found a link to my blog at xbox-360-for-sale.info/?p=1010.

    Is this gonna hurt me? How do I rectify the problem.

    Well it's from a spam blog. Isn't that going to hurt my rankings (a little) in Google?

    No.

    But it won't help you either. The simple rule of links is, if it's out of your control it's not a thing you need bother with. I'm quite sure someone here will tell you that there is an advanced rule that says the opposite, but for a few links from splogs you need not worry.

    Agree with Perrow. Have many spammy type links to our site and no problem.
    It also says in the Google Webmaster guidelines that there is nothing anyone else can do to affect your rankings.

    Our main site gets splogged all the time. I see it constantly. It has nnot hurt us because of how many links we have coming in already though. I think its proportional. If you have 5 backlinks and suddenly 100 spammy links show up then you may be in trouble. But 1 or 2? Your just fine. In fact better than fine you just moved up in Yahoo and MSN.
