knowledge is priceless in this industry, so you probably won't get a full answer here, from me or anyone else here.

I will tell you that those are called CJ tubes. The redirects you noticed are traffic trades. The list of sites at the bottom is usually their top trading partners.

where does the traffic come from?

think of CJ tubes as a dark corner of the internet where all the sites are working together to treat users like shit and keep them clicking and show them a shit-ton of pops. Traffic makes its way in through a variety of methods. Some CJ tubes buy traffic. Some CJ tubes get search traffic. Once someone is unfortunate enough to end up on a CJ tube, the only goal is to keep them clicking for as long as possible while showing as many ads as is practical.

You need a huge network of sites to do this because there's whales who will keep clicking all day if you keep throwing new sites at them. But if you keep using the same sites they'll figure out the game.

There's money in it but honestly not that much unless you're really really good...which I suppose is the same as anything in this industry.
