Yes, they’re going out of style, although a lot of people are still using them, to be sure.
Matt Cutts (GoogleGuy) hates on automated link exchange emails in a post on his blog, SEO Mistakes: link exchange emails.
Hereâs a mistake that people still sometimes make: buying a random software package that they think will get them a gold mine of links, especially by bulk emailing reputable sites. At this point, most site owners are savvy enough to realize that emails with link exchange requests are rarely hand-crafted with love.
I agree with him that link exchange emails sent by software (usually to completely unrelated sites) are spammy and not very effective. Let’s be honest though: a targeted, manually placed link exchange with a relevant site is good business (independent of any search engine’s existence) AND it helps with SEO. Like any marketing method, link exchanges can be executed well, or terribly.
Free tip: Do not send emails to webmaster@google.com asking to exchange links

I have a question that what If a “Automated Link Exchange” site has a good theme and PR, One should exchange link with that site or not?
Yeah, thats not always cool
I agree too. Why should we depend on softwares or automated link exchange system? can’t we spare some minutes for promoting our own sites through link exchange websites which gives more satisfaction and your link will last for long time whether it is a paid link or a free link. Human edited link is much more effective, better than any other system. That’s one of the reasons why DMOZ is so popular on the web.
