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 most ads from two ad exchanges, meaning we don't generally pick who is advertising here. The ad selection is done automatically based on the content of the page you are viewing. For instance, if you see a political candidate it is certainly not an endorsement from GovTrack. We probably don't even know it's there. We also run direct advertising, such as the "VA Mortgage Center" link on the front page of GovTrack.

Interested in advertising? Our ads reach 30,000+ unique visitors each day, a group of politically interested people, and according to Alexa a tilt toward female and aged 45+. But demographics and interest varies considerably from page to page throughout the site, since each bill in Congress draws a different segment of the population. If there's a bill in Congress relevant to your business industry, that's probably a good place for you to advertise. Drop us a line if you would like to advertise on GovTrack: .
