    Are you really seeing all that loading on the site? Where are you located? The only tracking code being included by us is Google Analytics. There are 4 youtube embeds on the page too that could be loading in some other code.

    How do they calculate that? Chrome Network dev tool just shows Google/Youtube/Doubleclick resources.

    BuiltWith contains data about both the current and past usage of services gathered from scraping the page, but also from a bunch of other (not always) reliable sources.

My guess is the ADs will drive sign-ups and the analytics will attempt to gain extra data points on the startups to attempt to better source and channel deal flow intelligence.

We are absolutely not going to be advertising on the site. I'm not sure where the tracking is coming from but am looking into it. Also, I think that information is out of date. The Startup School Conference site has been moved to here: http://conference.startupschool.org http://conference.startupschool.org. The new site is built with Ruby on Rails, React and Semantic UI.

  I think GP meant advertising FOR the site, not ON it.

    Ah. We're not going to be advertising FOR it either. I'm mostly just surprised as we haven't intentionally added any advertising tracking code to the site.
