Thought this was interesting...with a pinch of salt.

I have often wondered if buying a link/guest post from a niche site/PBN with little traffic devalues the link juice I am getting. Maybe this goes some way to answering that.
As long as my page ranks better with a new link, I know all is good, either way!

It’s the same story when it comes to the sum of traffic to referring domains vs. the total number of referring domains. There’s virtually no difference in the correlations, so it seems that the amount of organic traffic to a referring domain has little impact on the value of a link.
If you think about it, that makes total sense.
I mean, which of these two links would you rather have? —
- A link from a page with tons of backlinks on a domain with little organic traffic
- A link from a page buried deep on a massive website with tons of organic traffic
