I agree that using software generated link exchange requests, linking websites with unrelated content, and using nofollow links is spammy. I disagree however with your statement that 3-way link partnerships are a scam. They are as valid, if not more so, than reciprocal link partnerships when used responsibly. As long as the content of the web pages involved is useful and relevant, 3-way links offer benefits to both participants and their website visitors.

They are trying to stop pagerank from leaving their site. Or rather, they only let PR got to their other sites. Its a common "trick" for a spammer to exchange links with someone on the basis that both parties are linking from a high page rank site. Then, a few months later, the spammer removes the links to the linking page (or puts in no follow tags), making the links page an orphan. The page rank then whithers to nothing but they still get the link from person they traded with. To google, this looks like a one way link.
