How to cope with powerful brands and get traffic for your website?

The one piece of advice I can give you is that comment links are not going to help you at all. If you can go to another person's website and drop a link, it is almost guaranteed to be worthless for SEO and if too much of your backlink profile is made up of those kind of links, you very well could suffer a manual penalty from Google.

Stop looking for the easy links and, instead, create something great that people will WANT TO link to. Follow Brian Dean's backlinko blog and get his Link Building Guide.

You can try guest posting to established sites, if they accept. Through this, you can be sure you are driving quality traffic to your website.

TYPES OF ANCHOR TEXTS TO USE:

Exact-Match
Anchor text is "exact match" if it includes a keyword that mirrors the page that is being linked to. For example: 'link building' linking to a page about link building.

Partial-Match
Anchor text that includes a variation of the keyword on the linked-to page. For example: 'link building strategies' linking to a page about link building.

Branded
A brand name used as anchor text. For example: 'BHW' linking to an article on the BHW Forum.

Naked Link
A URL that is used as an anchor 'www.abcde.com' is a naked link anchor.

Generic
A generic word or phrase that is used as the anchor. "Click here" or "Read more" is a common generic anchor.

Images
Whenever an image is linked, Google will use the text contained in the image's alt attribute as the anchor text.

Hope that works for your website and improves google ranking.

Sincerely,
Steve
