most likely no one check this msn blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/livesearch/archive/2007/03/28/we-are-flattered-but.aspx
I have one! It's called "Link Popularity Check 3.03" (freeware) and it displays your MSN, Google, Yahoo, etc. backlinks
that tool reports 235 links for one of my sites. I know that i have at least 2300 msn links. So, no, it does not seem to work properly.
Msn had disable the "link:" function. My tools cannot check MSN backlink too. http://backlinkfinder.com Kam
Pity. It was a useful tool to have. It's been well over a month now, and nothing else mentioned either.
It does not work anymore either, i know for www.h-log.com i have over 1.5K links via msn on that site shows only 100 ? Plus i do not see msn backlinks at all there. And page strength of 8 lol
It has been disable for a months now. I have been searching for a seo tool that will check the MSN link but none of them works because MSN disable the link command. MSN is improving the functionality of link command. I dont know when it will be back
From what i heard, they disabled it cause of load it causes on their servers not cause they are improving it, but i could have heard wrong.
MSN is working on a fix for a spam/scam problem and an automated bot problem. That is why they disabled the feature.
