traffic increases ranking, but other sites also will try to do the same. So, does it mean high ranking is only temporarily and will be lowered again when other sites get more traffic?

Just work on improving your sites bounce rate. Forget about traffic exchanges unless you end up getting natural and quality visitors.

Soon as any search engine see a webpage getting hits and realize it real traffic that web site will get indexed in theory.

Also if a link of a website is put on a well known busy website will encourage search engines to crawl it.

backlinks are important but when the pr is eventually fades out back links will go with it,
i then suspect good content/traffic will win .

so soon a good website with content and loads of real traffic will win and that how eventually websites will be listed in search engines.

I've heard somewhere that google will assign more value to visitor behavior in the future. And the bounce rate from traffic exchanges is pretty high, so I think it could have a negative impact as well?

Link building and traffic exchanges are two different things. Focus more upon backlinks, traffic should follow.

The amount of traffic will not affect your rankings directly, however bounce rate, ppv, time on website and some other factors will.

I just started a link building campaign and my question is: should i send traffic from traffic exchange websites because i was thinking if no traffic and yet i get backlinks that would look a bit fishy in google's eyes, what do you think? thanks

It would not look fishy if you get backlinks first and then traffic. You build backlinks from the start, once you have enough backlinks and you can rank a certain keyword, then the traffic comes. How can you get traffic when no one knows your site? And that is why we build backlinks.

Dear,
You are right. If there is no traffic on the money site then all the links would be considered spammy. Google loves genuine SEO and with a wish to look natural, first get traffic and then do link building, as it ensures real traffic has made these links.
