Can this be true? I don't know how to check it; googling "link:singularity.org" reveals nothing (but the functionality of "link:" seems broken or something; I'd be glad if someone could explain me how it works).

When I looked into it a year ago, my impression was that it was an essentially broken and abandoned Google feature.

See https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55281

To find a sampling of links to any site, you can perform a Google search using the link: operator. For instance, [link:www.google.com] will list a selection of the web pages that have links pointing to the Google home page. …

See a much larger sampling of links to a verified site:

  1. On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want.
  2. On the left-hand menu, click Traffic, and then click Links to Your Site.
