This type of stain is one of the hardest to get out the carpet.
I would recommend using a wet vac and slowly pour hot almost boiling water (from a kettle) on the spot and vacuum it up at the same time, (this will open up the dye ports on the carpet fibre releasing the stain. and remove the residue from the carpet).
If the stain is still visible than try putting Dawn dishwashing liquid (4 or 5 drops into one cup of water) or carpet spotter. Dampen the spot letting it soak on the stain for about 5 minutes and repeat step one. After this you should rinse the area again with the wet vac and hot water. If this doesn’t work try using orange glo or even 409. The most important thing to do is rinse the stain with a wet vac and hot water from a kettle to remove all the reside, or the spot may come back.
Please be careful with what product you uses (neutral PH carpet cleaning solution is best). Please DO NOT put anything on the carpet that was not made for carpet.

My standard answer (and a technique I use regularly) is to mix one part ammonia with three parts warm water. Spray it on the stain and go over it with an old toothbrush. The stain will spread---do not panic!!!!! Lay a clean white towel over the stain and iron it on your hottest steam setting. The stain will transfer into the towel! It may take two or three times to get the entire stain up, but you'll be amazed.

Folex works great, you might want to try Wine Away too. It is made for red wine stains and those are tough.
