Yahook - here's my first free tip on SEO - that will not show you the backlinks - it will show you everyone that has those words on their page - not linking to you!
Normally I would charge for that kind of advice but since youre a regular poster here - its free I dont know who misled you to think that query would show backlinks - but it will NOT!

sundiver - I dont know where you are getting your information but I can guarantee you that every link list owner I know of - which is a little over 100 of the top link lists - has a host ban list - and so does just about every large TGP out there - and we do occasionally talk about it with each other. It would be stupid for us to not have a ban list - especially when in the past when we didnt look at hosts - we were spending 5-6 hours a day cleaning up sites that cheaters had submitted - and guess what - they all came from the same hosts
As far as the boards that were plotting how to get around the LL rules - I personally read a few of them - after translating of course and I can vouch for what Alex posted - and you would be amazed at some things I learned from their posts.
I can tell you that one host went so far as to post here saying they were cleaning up the cheaters - then went and tried to redirect all of the nameservers to different hosting companies - so Alex knows what he is talking about
