Many link directories require reciprocal links from their submissions. If they have many sites linking back to them, it will raise their PR.
That is one answer. Another method is most PR domains are converted to directories as SEo guys are searching for PR directories, and are likely to link back
May I ask you why you think most of link directories have high PR? I'm sure there are millions web directories, and you probably referring to max 100 o them with high PR and most of them on homepage only. When your link is deep inside and have 100 other links, you get just 0.0000
if you do its seo and than you see your site have many traffic and your site visitor will be increase day by day
A few link directories have high pagerank because they deserve it - they work on it, build everything in quality and they reap what they sow. Many - if not most - web directories have high pagerank because they buy a domain (dropped/expired/expiring) with its pagerank still attached to it, and build a directory on it. That is why web directories have weird/unrelated domain name. I'm not saying directories built on high pagerank domain is bad, it's just that many of those directories are using their pagerank numbers as marketing tools - making them more attractive. My 2 cents.
I wonder if any of you noticed his user name exaltseo LOL, I would guess that anyone who called himself SEO would know How do link directories have high pagerank fastreplies
I'd agree with the statement saying that many directories are quite aged and therefore have a good pagerank. It's basically a business people are in buying old page rank and building directories off them.
For my directories, the usual link building methods worked, don't source links from one source, source from as diverse source as you can manage.
