just wondering how an engine like Google handles a link that has some type of redirection or click through monitoring.
will it follow such a link and will it count as a back link?

It will follow it, and sometimes count it as a backlink, sometimes not. Sometimes it becomes the "real" link, and shows up instead of the actual link without the tracking.

This may be ignorance but I'm not sure exactly what you mean by real links.

I think she means that instead of Google indexing the actual site, it will index the page or URL that it redirects to.This may be ignorance but I'm not sure exactly what you mean by real links.
Say I submit domain1.com to Google but I have a 1 second meta refresh tag that sends them to either domain2.com or domain1.com/home.asp. Google may ignore domain1.com and index the page it redirects to.

Exactly!
Sometimes I'll see, for instance, that an affiliate link of my Nitty-gritty reporrt is showing up in a search, as opposed to my "real" link. It generally gets fixed over time, but I see it happen enough to be annoying.
