How is this different than Go Daddy Spam?

Out of boredom, I googled up "SEO Company". #1 result is qualifiedimpressions.com.

Taking a look at their link profile it seems they are utilizing anchor text on all their clients' websites.  Moreover, it appears they have multiple sites for each of their phrases (which they cross link).

Qualified Impressions - SEO Company

WeBuildRankings.com - SEO Service

VisibilitySquad - SEO Companies

Some of their clients are rocking multiple anchor text links.

How is this not any different than what Go Daddy did recently?

If they are #1, i would suspect that among all the links are a few good ones that are giving them rankings, this has been my experience in many cases when it's not clear why a page is ranking.
I also have some links on sites I have built, but I no longer bother as if the site is not relevant and your have a link in the footer, then they will be of limited value
