SoS - help me understand this

I am currently looking for automotive niche guest posts which are of good quality

Most of the site sample i receive are 0 traffic and are mostly looks like a pbn

Is it good to go with such links

No spam score DA IS 50 - 70

Thread moved to link building. Hopefully you’ll get some advise here on what to look for when building backlinks.

However, if you want commercial offers then you can post a separate thread for that, in the want to buy sub-forum.

it's not good necessarily, but - depending on circumstances - it might also not be bad either. You have to look at the overall picture (the site's quality and standings with google, the backlink's quality and standing with google, as well as how important is in the site itself, etc...)

You can find more details on what makes a good link in google or by looking around the forum (I think I - alone - have addressed this topic several times this year alone, so have a look around)

both useless metrics, I wouldn't care too much about them (although DA could be useful sometimes)

While DA 50-70 may seem promising, relying on sites with zero traffic, even with no spam score, can be risky. These could be part of a PBN, which might offer short-term benefits but can harm your site's long-term SEO.

It's better to focus on sites with genuine traffic and engagement, as these provide more SEO value and align with Google's quality guidelines.

Always prioritize relevance and authority over just DA.

High DA doesn’t mean much without real user engagement. I’d check backlink profiles too, if they’re packed with low-quality or irrelevant links, it’s a hard pass. Better to invest in lower DA sites with genuine traffic

The site has Zero Traffic which can not be helpful to you. No it will not be good to go with such links.

You need to get backlinks from those automotive sites that have at least 500 traffic and DA or DR 25 plus. It will work.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks

It’s better to avoid links from sites with 0 traffic, especially if they resemble PBNs, as they provide limited value. Even with high DA, focus on genuine, traffic-generating sites for better long-term SEO impact.
