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!

unless you do some direct submission to msn this could happen.

Thanks weblord!
What could happen? Being ranked in MSN Search 1st page for highly competitive keyword WITHOUT having any backlinks!?
