It could be that the internet is seeing something in my search history that makes it think I want to buy something to do with reading (I do read, and order books online occasionally)
Well, I tried two of the three you have listed and both had a big blue button that said "Click Here" that attempts to download software called The Reading Hub. I don't know what it is, as I didn't try to download it, but those kinds of download often include spyware and other annoying software that can make one's computer do things you don't want it to do. I'm sure the Postimages program is great, but people need to know not to accidentally click on a button that is attempting to fool them into downloading software they probably don't want.
It may be seeing something on my system that tells it I am a reader, so it is trying to sell me something that others might not see. It can do that.

That brings up an interesting point.
Would others please go to the post image site and let us know if you too see this "Click Here" button.

I tried all three variants. All went to the same initial page. I didn't go beyond that initial page. No big blue 'click here' button on the front page.

To be serious, I was surprised to see such a simple & relatively clean website.

When I followed the link there were no big"click here" buttons. However, there was a small ad on the very bottom of the page suggesting i add an ecommerce shopping cart to my web page to help increase sales.

I tried again and the blue button is now gone, and there is no ad at the bottom as Dirty Rogue found. I think the page just loads differently for different people, at different times, in attempts to sell things. Not to worry.

YES, the BIG blue button is on the first page that I see.

I use imgur.com in place of Photobucket. They are free, takes a little to get use to, but simple. When you post you have to select what size you wish the photo to post as. So take a look at it...
