Google has started to
take over guest post spamming in a strict manner. The web spam team headed by
Matt Cutts have 
already started to
manually flag unnatural guest post links taken as keyword rich anchor text as
spam. The unnatural 
links sample which
Google displays after a manual penalty has been applied on the domain now
displays guest post 
links. 
Here is a post posted
by Sandra Goldstein in her blog which provides samples of guest post links as
spam. Have a look 
at it below:

Are You Doing Spammy Guest Posts?

If you are engaged in
excessively spamming by web by taking keyword rich anchor text links in your
author bio then be 
warned Google has
already started to penalize this 
behaviour
Remain Natural
Do not use guest
posting as a technique to build keyword rich anchor text links. Instead use it
as a method to gain 
referral traffic and
improve connections. Make sure Google is not able to sniff any sort of
unnatural or spammy 
behaviour on your
part. 
Guest blogging is a
great way to improve your author rank and increase your industry connections.
Do not us this 
method for creating
backlinks especially taking keyword rich links in the author bio. 
Follow Google
Webmasters Guidelines
Make sure to follow
Google Webmasters Guidelines whenever you take part in any link building
activities. Link building 
in itself is not a bad
practice but can go unnatural if done incorrectly. Currently, Google prefers
natural links and 
penalizes unnatural
links. Do not engage yourself in spammy guest post practices but instead write
to improve user 
experience and your
industry experience. Become a contributor who is loved by the people.
