From a purely technical SEO point of view, is a PBN site with real traffic better than one without traffic?

I mean, does Google give more weight to backlinks from the pbn with traffic, or not? Assuming metrics are identical.
 
Can any SEO experts in here please elaborate?

Bump.
 
Definitely, PBN with real traffic is an advantage in SEO perspective. But make sure it should not be spammed.
 
The more backlinks the better.. You will get lot more link juice from the site with more backlinks.
 
Spot on, a pbn with traffic is more likely to pass a manual review (as it actually had visitors interested in its content) and is likely to pass more juice - as in Gs eyes it’s a real website, not being solely milked for its historic Backlinks and reputation.

Simply put, a website with traffic, built to target a few keywords is a natural site - a money site.

Recently I’ve started seeing the development of money blog networks - sites built on old domains, using similar themes before then adding search worthy traffic alongside links.

A few sellers here have moved in this direction too to help with potential reviews.

Thanks. Still kinda confused. Sounds like the chicken / egg scenario. A site can't get traffic from Google in the first place without backlinks, but somehow traffic is part of Google's algo?
 
The amount of traffic is irrelevant. If the PBN is any decent it WILL rank for some keywords and have some traffic, but more traffic wont make the PBN any better. Let me explain:

PBN 1 - Game hack niche. Gazillion searches per month, a nice few hundreds unique visitors.
PBN 2 - Expensive medical products, 1k searches per month. Few dozens visitors.

Both PBNs are good, despite the difference in the traffic.
 
That's what I would personally do, ryuken. Did you have any luck getting great results with a PBN with no traffic ?

Haven't really tried. I'm just trying to look at this with a valid explanation, (and not opinions).

A good point you make.
 
Google does not rank a site with traffic any higher than a site with a little, but still, if you already have real people on a site then the chances of some of those spilling onto your target site is good.

That makes it a better prospect surely?

Yes, but remember the original question - will a backlink from a higher traffic site be of any more value than the backlink from a no-traffic site (assuming the seo metrics are the same).
 
Agree with HowToBeHappy.. He got a good point.
