Website traffic or back links drive Google ranking?

Hello Everyone.

I apologize in advance if this has been asked before.

I have recently begun a blog connected with our field of business and we seem to have healthy readership numbers so far.
However, I have simply not had the time to back link extensively and we seem to still be linked low on Google Page Rank.
ok, the blog has only been going for a few months:

My question, as the title suggests, is if back links are more important for a site's Google ranking than volume of website traffic?

Thank you very much in advance for any answers and of course for your time.

Backlinks from relevant websites are the most important for generating relevant site visitors.

For me traffic is more important. For that you need to rank in top 3 of search result and for that you need good relevant high PR backlinks.
