Reciprocal links for free submissions?

Most directories require a reciprocal link for free submissions to be approved. I thought it was bad for the average website to have too many outgoing links, and that the search engines would see it as a link farm or something like that.

How do you work around this? Do you just make a link page to list them, or do you use a directory on your own site to manage all of your links? At what number do you stop?

I have a list of more than 1000 directories which don't require reciprocal links. For me, only if the linked page has a higher PR, say PR4+, I will submit reciprocal links. Or I will never submit with reciprocal links.

I agree with hhheng. I would not submit to a directory where I would have to provide a reciprocal link. It's not worth the effort.

There are hundreds of free directories that require no reciprocal links. Concentrate on them!

If no one reciprocates with directories then the directory would be a pointless effort as too would be submitting to them. If a directory cannot get reciprocals to increase visibility, how do we drive more traffic to listed sites.
The only people winning here would be the bigger directories that throw big bucks at it.... Just a thought!!!
