Today I found in my backward links that some links (about 50) are comming from different blogs.
I am afraid that I will be banned by G for spamming. I've not submitted my site to any kind of blogs. My compatitors are trying to ban me from the index. What can I do? Should I send email to G? Will it help?

Any edvice would be much appriciated.

Just people discussing the topic of my sites, and linking to them as authoratative resources.

Let's not confuse the issue of content links and comment spam.

Actually I believe it is quite possible to harm your competitor's rankings by placing links all over the place.

How? Use different anchor text. Make them all point to some irrelevant phrase. It is likely that % ratio of links' anchor text effects ranking for a certain term.

So if you had 100 links to your site that said "red widgets" and then someone got you 10,000 links that pointed to your site saying "green thingamabobs" then there is a good chance your ranking for "red widgets" would go down. Makes sense doesn't it? From Google's perspective, your site is obviously much more relevant for "green thingamabobs" and not all that relevant for "red widgets"

If I were you I'd smile and say thank you. If links coming from blogs was harmful then none of the top 4 for the term "miserable failure" should be there.
