Receiving More Automated 1-Way Link Requests

Is there a Reason Why they Don't Want Recips?

Lately I've been getting a lot of "linkspam" (that's what I call it when automated emails from completely unrelated sites ask for links) and instead of asking for recipricol links, they say things like...

"we will give you a discount" or "we will give you a free article for a link"....
and "we do not practice link exchanges because of their limited serach engine value"
or - "we will link from another site but not recip link"...

Are they just trying to get 1-way links, or is there a legitimate reason they don't want recips?

Outsourced link builders are years behind the curve. The whole recips and three-way thing has been a staple for them forever. But I'm sure client demand had something to do with getting the offshore services to catch up.
