Below I've collected tips for cleaning vomit stains, focusing mainly on home remedies you can use for this icky, but sometimes necessary task.
Below is a video which gives instructions for removing these messes from your carpet.
This is a slightly different set of instructions from those I provide in my page about vomit stain removal, but the idea is similar.
In this video the instructions deal a lot with odor removal, which I think is a practical and good idea since vomit stains imply there will also be a pretty nasty odor.
Some of the suggested actions to reduce odor are also pretty common sense, including opening windows to let in fresh air, and sprinkling the area with baking soda, which will help absorb the smell.
The video also suggests using carpet shampoo and water to clean up the stains, which can work.
However, if you have trouble getting out the stains with this method I would suggest checking out the A-Z Stain Removal Guide, because the stain may need some extra attention based on whatever substance was contained in the vomit. (Yuck, I know, but true.)

My mom used to immediately put sand over the vomit and then easily use a dustpan to brush up the sand with the vomit.
The next step was to clean with carpet shampoo, and then lastly dust the carpet with baking soda.
It would always work.

Pida shared before and after pictures of when her cat thew up on the carpet, after eating too fast, and how she cleaned it up.
Cleaning pet vomit off carpet is no fun. No one denies that.
However, here are some tips to make the job easier, including a video giving a demonstration.
First, get paper towels and remove all the solid pieces (yuck! I know), and then blot up as much liquid as possible from the carpet.
Next, use a carpet cleaner or pet stain remover that can be used on carpet to clean the spot or stain.
Finally, the video suggests using rubbing alcohol to cut the smell and finish cleaning the carpet.
Here is the video for full details:
