Do You First Consider Traffic Quality When Linking

i check the traffic source and keywords they ranking for. relevant traffic is more important than volume

Same here I care more about where the traffic comes from and what those visitors actually do on the site than the traffic number itself
 
I agree that traffic numbers can be misleading. A smaller amount of highly relevant traffic that engages and converts is usually more valuable to me than a large volume of visitors who leave without taking any action.

same here, raw traffic figures are quite deceptive. i would prefer 500 relevant visits doing something useful than 5k who bounce immediately.
 
I usually check if the page is getting any organic traffic, not just whether the whole domain has traffic.
 
For me, traffic is only the starting point. I usually look at engagement, conversion rate, landing-page performance, and where the visitors came from. If a traffic source brings the right audience and contributes to actual business goals, I consider that more important than its overall traffic volume.
 
I’d also check whether the page linking to your site is relevant to the topic of your own page. Even if the website has good traffic, a link from an unrelated article may not make much sense. The context around the link matters too, not just the traffic numbers.

Relevance and audience quality are definitely more important than just raw traffic numbers. A few visitors who actually care about the content will always do more for a site than high volume from an unrelated audience.

indeed, the raw number may be very high and yet mean nothing. in this case, the smaller targeted audience works better.

Relevance over Traffic numbers is more important to me personally. The contextual relevance of the link on the relevant page is always more important than the traffic.
