I saw behavior like this once before, when I was trying to look up some information using one of the computers at Best Buy. Since it didn't happen at home, I thought maybe they were doing it... However, when I enter the url ECSNorway provided, I notice "outboundlink.me" in the list of things NoScript is blocking.
A discussion of what that is can be found here.
It's not clear exactly what does and doesn't cause this to be invoked, other than requiring javascript from that domain to be allowed. The version I'd run into before actually changed the links that were displayed in the page; this one seems to not. But I might not have noticed if that arrangement hadn't depended on a server that wasn't working at the time.
While this does not appear to be actively malicious, I think it might still fall under the category of "Things you're paying yuku to not have."
