How can I check "back links" of a Blog?

[Michel Z.]

I noticed that when I check incoming/back links of a Blog using different 'link popularity' tools, it always results in 0 number of sites linking to that particular Blog I am checking?

For example -

http://www.casino--i.blogspot.com

This site is ranked 1st page MSN Search for highly competitive keyword "casino", but 0 back links!?

Anyone has an explanation for this or how I can check back links for a Blog?

Thanks so much!

That url is just a redirect to another site.

http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=link:www.casinolasvegas.com&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Thanks ViciousSummer.
I noticed now that link:www.casino--i.blogspot.com does work in MSN: 2600 back links!

Any reason why blog sites today are ranked high & using re-direct? :)
