But I do get mails for exchanging links and now I can relate those mail with your article. I agree with all your points and will surely take care of all the points from next time I will get mails to exchange links.

Aside from the spammy messages you mentioned above, anyone who has more than a few reciprocal links is unlikely to check those links are reciprocated, at least not on a regular basis. A script could be used to monitor all your links and ensure they are reciprocated - however, a script would only be able to check if the link appears in the source code, and not determine if the link appears at a certain position on the page. Nor could it reliably detect if the link was actually visible to users. So, another drawback of link exchanges is the manual effort in checking that people actually reciprocate.
