define:link tunneling
Get links from all the sites linking to your competitors and from all the sites linking to the sites linking to your competitors. Then if you can’t get links from your top competitors, seek to get links from all the sites your competitors are linking to … Link Tunneling.
Here is the JameSEO way of describing link tunneling…
The main point I’m trying to make is, if you can’t get links from the big boyz in your industry, try to get links from the sites they are linking to. SEO Chat has a great tool called the Site Link Analyzer. Use this tool to see who your competitors link to. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to get one from those sites.

James, great video on link tunneling. I like the idea of getting links from sites that your competition link to, effectively using their link juice to help your rankings. Very cool!

James, I like your site. Have you considered changing your comments to “dofollow” or using commentLuv. I like your site, but it sure would be nice to get a little link juice from you ;)

Don’t do it. Never let your comment links give out link juice. Only allow your blog roll to give out the love, that way you have total control of who you give it too.
