I think you misunderstood the message that the SEO was trying to get across. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean actual hidden pages, but simply a link page besides the main link page which isn't as easily accessible by average visitors. I think Jade has explained this process better:

They won't get penalized by google for it, they just are screwing over their link partners by being sneaky.
