Links from heavily spammed blogs - Will this damage my rankings?

I outsourced some high PR blog comments for 2 of my sites & received the report today.

Great! - I thought

Looking at the report of where my links had been placed, to my horror the links were placed on heavily spammed blogs. I'm talking hundreds of out bound links & horrible spam comments.

Now the question is - will links on these blog hurt my rankings?

I'm quite aware these links will not hold any value but & I'm now worried that I will see a decrease in ranking because of them.

    people who think that they hurt are stupid. other wise we all could ruin other sites right? as long as the keywords are related to your website, I have ranked a few sites #1 with only 100k spam comments' no problem just make sure you are not getting sandbox and use buffer sites

      I'm not sand boxed, boths sites are at the top of page 2 in Google. I only
      have around 20 of these blog comments going to each site.


      I got the comments in the hope they would tip my sites onto page 1
      but after looking at the report I thought I may have damaged my rankings.


      What are "buffer sites"?

        There is not such thing as a 'bad link' only links that are less effective.

        A buffer site is a site that receives part of the links and then passes it on to the money site. In your case you could have done something like: Blog comments --> buffer site(a property such as blogger/squidoo/hubpages etc) --> Your main site also referred to as money site.

        This way your main site is protected and you can use those links again for another purpose whenever your main site is gone.

    Probably won't hurt. (Although I'd be weary of having a backlink on a page with a ton of Viagra links.) Google just devalues most of these sources. So at the very worst you won't see much of a result.

    As suggested by poster no. 2 (Sorry his username is case sensitive :p) try using buffer sites (if you plan to mass spam comments), if these comments are manual then direct linking is fine imo.
