Rakibim hükümet gibi önemli web sitelerinden çok sayıda geri bağlantı alıyor, dolayısıyla büyük bir yetkiye sahip ancak bu sayfalara gelen trafik temelde yok, bu geri bağlantılar iyi mi?

Yes, they can still matter, but not for the reason most people think.
Links from high-authority domains (like government sites) pass trust and credibility, even if the page itself gets no traffic. That can help rankings indirectly.
But zero-traffic pages = zero referral value. You are getting authority, not visitors.
What actually matters more than “authority” is:
Relevance of the page
Whether the page is indexed
How close it is to real content (not a footer or archive page)
Whether the site is alive or just sitting there
A backlink from a dead high-authority page is better than spam, but worse than:
A relevant site
With real users
Linking inside content
If all your links are “high authority, zero traffic,” your rankings might move… but your business won’t.
Real SEO mixes: Authority + relevance + traffic + context.
Miss one long enough, performance stalls.
Yeah, those links still matter. Traffic to the page the link sits on doesn’t really decide the value. What Google looks at more is the trust and authority of the site giving the link, plus how clean and legitimate the context is.
A government link, even from a page nobody reads, is still a government link. Same thing with universities, large organizations, big brands, stuff like that. They tend to carry more weight because those sites are almost impossible to spam or manipulate, so Google treats them as stronger signals.
If your competitor is picking up links like that, it’s definitely helping them. It doesn’t guarantee rankings by itself, but it absolutely pushes their authority up in a way that low quality or niche sites can’t match.
I run Leverage Local, and we see this a lot with clients, the links that look “boring” on the surface usually move the needle more than the flashy ones from busy blogs. If you want to look at it more closely, you can share the niche and I can tell you how much those links are probably affecting the gap between you two.
if google crawls and sees the link it should help if there is traffic or not.
It can possibly but should be niche specific at least. Other than that it’s a crap shoot

If the link is on a good strong page, then yes it will
move the needle whether there is strong traffic or not.
From extensive and ongoing experimentation: Nope.
Having Organic Google traffic is an almost mandatory enablement factor for Authority passage.
The volume, %, exact use case is unknown and yet to be determined, but no traffic = no authority
No search engine uses “domain authority” as a metric, that’s just a made up metric from some tool provider.
Even if you were to have a link from a gov site it matters where that link is on the site. If it’s buried 152 clicks from the home page then no one will see it so it probably won’t help rankings.
No organic traffic going towards the domain then no. Subdomains are separate.
