I should probably clarify, you are not providing imdb.com with traffic. You are providing other domains, used by IMDb, with traffic.
A lot of websites get pictures and other media from a separate server (often referred to as a Content Distribution Network (CDN)). IMDb also does that (media-imdb.com ssl-images-amazon.com). Movie Chat uses those CDNs to display images.
Yes, by using Movie Chat's search feature, you are providing IMDB with traffic. The thumbnails shown next to search results are fetched from either:
media-imdb.com
ssl-images-amazon.com
Both of these are used by IMDB to serve images to their visitors.
That being said, you using Movie Chat's search feature isn't providing IMDb with any money. You are using their bandwidth, which they pay for. As no ads are being served from those domains, IMDb is not making a profit from it.
Should also mention that media-imdb.com is currently down, which is why some images aren't showing up in search results.
moviechat.org's search result page communicates with the following IMDb related domains:
media-imdb.com
ssl-images-amazon.com
This is to get the show's images.
Suggestion:
Search forum for threads requesting suggestions instead of creating two threads.
