Based on my experience over the past couple of years, I have found that guest posts on high-traffic websites are more valuable to Google than guest posts on high DA/DR websites with low traffic.

Whats your thought on this? Share your experience.

From what I’ve seen, links from sites with real users matter more than high DA sites that get no traffic.
 
In my experience, guest posts on sites with real traffic bring better results than high DA sites with no visitors. Google seems to value relevance, engagement, and real users more than just authority numbers.
 
Guest posts on high traffic sites usually beat high DA/DR low traffic sites because google values real user engagement and referral clicks more than just metrics.
 
I agree real traffic and engagement often signal stronger relevance than DA/DR alone. Guest posts on active, niche-relevant sites usually bring better long-term SEO value.
 
I've noticed that. Real traffic seems to matter way more than just DA/DR numbers on paper. Guest posts that actually get views and engagement usually move the needle faster for me too
 
I completely agree with the consensus here, real traffic and engagement appear to be much stronger indicators of relevance and authority than just DA/DR numbers. It's interesting to note that Google's algorithm seems to be prioritizing user experience and interaction over mere metrics. I've also seen this play out in my own campaigns, where guest posts on lower DA sites with engaged audiences have outperformed those on higher DA sites with minimal traffic. Can anyone share their thoughts on how to effectively measure and prioritize engagement on potential guest post sites, beyond just looking at traffic numbers?
 
I agree with the traffic angle. Real traffic usually means real engagement and trust signals. High DA with no users often feels inflated and doesn’t move the needle much in practice.
 
Hi TechnoTycoon, I generally agree with that observation based on what’s been working lately. Guest posts on sites with real, consistent traffic tend to send stronger quality signals than high Da/Dr sites that don’t attract actual users. Traffic usually reflects trust, engagement, and relevance, which algorithms seem to value more over time. In practice, a balanced mix can work, but if choosing one, traffic backed relevance often delivers more lasting impact.
