So how exactly does this work and how effective are the visitors? Are they being re-directed to the website without their knowledge?

From Their Website:
We purchase abandoned and expired domain names that are still search engine listed and have lots of traffic. We make sure that these domain names fit into one of our categories. We work at a basic level by redirecting the traffic coming to these websites to your website if it falls into the same category. Once you order a campaign,
So they could have been looking for porn and your site pops up, not the kind of link you would want is it!

Its all well and good buying traffic, but surely its the relevancy that you want not necessarily loads of irrelevant traffic.
From a cost effectiveness perspectiveness I personally would advise, concentrating on mechanisms that will drive "qualified" traffic to the site.
PS. Surely implementing a PPC campaign with content match (which shows on a number of "parked" websites(amongst others) would do a very similar thing

I went to the link and the site is not coming up. Buying traffic is not the best way to advertise, it depends what you got to offer, find your market nitch first and then go after with your similar offer.
All the best,

The only "outside" people who would know are
1) Google: (partly) they will be able to tell how many people search for that site and how many people click on the link they display for the site
2) ISP on which the server is hosted: They will be able to monitor the traffic going to that domain
I was wondering if these two parties would sell that information to people.

If they are big enough, you can try alexa for a bit of a clue. Although Alexa reckons my real-work site has 1-weekly average traffic of 1,334,937 - which I think is a tad over-rated. And I (allegedly) have a 3 month average of 6,571,720.
Or, you can try to guess their webstats programme (if they have one) and try to google it. This is mostly unsuccessful but if you are really intrigued then it's worth a 5 minute peep

Not sure to which comment that wild statement came from, but as a fellow online marketing professional I would have to disagree with your part of the statement "Real traffic comes from real internet searches. IE, Google, msn ect".
For one thing, people like Dell do not wholeheartedly rely on search engines for the bulk of their traffic, but instead base their advertising on a multitude of mediums both online (search engines, affiliate schemes, banner advertising) and offline (tv, press). Admittedly for smaller clients, this example would be less "wholesome" but the same still applies.
At the end of the day the search engines are an important part of the online purchasing strategy but they are not the only constiuent part and companies still rely on a wide range of marketing disciplines/channels in which to market their products and services
