When you clean the spot off, use a detergent that does not leave a residue, such as liquid diswashing soap. Be sure to rinse the cleaning agents out once the spot has been removed, by repeatedly blotting with a fresh towel and clean water (soap residues could be the problem, because they will attract dirt and make a spot reappear).
Lastly, place several folded white towels on top of the spot and as much weight as you can, say several large books. Leave them overnight. This will cause the spot to wick into towels and draw it off the carpet.
If the spot ever comes back again, repeat process, but this time pack the carpet with talcum powder or baking soda and salt before placing the towels over the spot. These powders will also pull the residues out of the carpet and absorb them as the carpet dries.
