Microsoft Live Search Webmaster Tools
Back in March, the "link:" operator function was removed from MSN Search, due to "mass automated usage for data mining". The MSN Search team then set about creating dedicated resources for webmasters (requiring users to sign-up & log-in), with the Private Beta of the MSN Search "Webmaster Portal" announced in August as "a single, friendly place to find all tools and information relating to Live Search SEO".

Microsoft's Live Search Webmaster Center helps you make sure that their spider, the MSNBot, is effectively crawling your site: displaying when it was last crawled & how many pages are currently included in the search engine's index. (If your site is blocked, you can identify & address the issue, then submit a re-inclusion request.) To ensure all your site's pages are being indexed, you can enter the location of your site's XML sitemap. Live Search Webmaster Center provides other statistics about your website, including: Backlinks to your pages & the most popular Outbound Links from your site. And, you will also discover your site / pages Ranking, which is based on "the number and quality of websites that link to your pages, and the relevance of your website’s content to keywords". You can follow the development of Live's webmaster tools at the new Webmaster Center Team's Blog, discuss the tools & inclusion in the search engine at the Webmaster Center forum, offer Feedback, and troubleshoot / learn more about how Live Search generates listings for your site with Site Owner Help
