Why are major directories missing from link report

[ChristopherGlaeser]

Why are back links like dir.yahoo.com not listed in the link report for sites that are listed in dir.yahoo.com?

For a site with 18 back links and a DA of 28, how much affect, if any, would a paid listing in a directory like yahoo have on the sites DA?
