About the Advertising on GovTrack

GovTrack is a project of Civic Impulse, LLC, technically a for-profit company, but one who thinks far more about how to do good work than raising profits. (You can read more about the site here.)

Advertising on GovTrack supports its small staff. We run two types of ads:

Banner ads on the right: On the right side of most pages there is a banner of text or image ads. These are through Google's AdSense advertising program. Google chooses the advertisers to place on this site by an automated process. GovTrack has no particular control over who is advertising in those slots. If you see a political candidate, it is certainly not an endorsement by us. They're just the highest bidder in Google's system.

The 'VA Mortgage' link on the front page of the site: On the front page of the site, at the bottom right, there is a link to a company called the VA Mortgage Center. The link has a dual purpose: On the one hand, it may attract GovTrack visitors to their site. On the other hand, it is to get traffic from search engines. Associations with "high quality" sites like GovTrak can help websites get more search engine traffic.
