Yes, it will impact your SEO positively for sure. Your ranking will definitely get a boost with this, but make sure your non organic traffic is not coming from some fishy sources or illegitimate or from ads that later get suspended from google/bing.

I would say that if the site receives traffic, it could mean it has some (or a lot of) authority. The way I see, if the site has got things like videos, social posts, forum posting (with sig links), blog comments (for traffic, of course), etc ... all of those certainly affect the SEO and rankings, not necessary traffic volume by itself.
If traffic volume was one of the ranking factors, I could easily by expired taffic from providers either here or on 5rr and rank the hell out of my sites ... unfortunately, this is not the case ...

It will help but you have to have good content to reduce your bounce rate. If you don't, those efforts generating traffic will be useless. Google will notice for a while that your page generates traffic but once they see people is leaving as soon as users get there, they will tell your content is not good.

According to various successful SEO people like Neil Patel traffic does affect positively to search engine rankings but it also depends from traffic bounce rates. Neil Patel has some statistics and traffic bounce rates should be in 30-80% territory. Also good DA backlinks are important. So optimal would be low bounce rate traffic plus backlinks from high DA sites which are relevant to your content.
Thanks everyone! As far as i understand Relevant Content+Traffic+Backlinks -> SEO -> High SE rank -> Organic Traffic -> High SE rank -> Organic Traffic -> etc. Am I right?

From everything I've read, traffic is a factor in Google's rankings. However, so is the bounce rate... so make sure that traffic stays on the site for at least 30 seconds or so. There are bots that will go out there and crawl your site and act like a human, but if Google figures out that you're using bots they won't be happy.

Mate,
The traffic from real users will boost your ranking. The traffic from display ads, and any kind of source will also give impact in your ranking. Also you must checkout the bounce rate of your website. If more number of spammy bots are visits your websites, it will leads the negative impacts.

if you get real traffic form ads may its affect SEO in Bounce rate. if your content is good there are no negative points
try to post good quality content and reduce the bounce rate if its high.
