What else can I or others do to help save more?

However, mere quantity is not a good indicator. I've "saved" 50 sq. ft., which required answering a number of questions several times. I also submitted a couple of questions, figuring repetition was going to make things boring for others. I can't tell you how to clean out existing bot hits accurately, but I can suggest a way of preventing them. Add a capcha to the form (a capcha is an image with distorted numbers or letters on it.). This will slow things down for users, but it should satisfy advertisers. Your random question generator could stand some improvement, by the way. It should not ask the same question within say 10 or 20 of the last questions. Congratulations on the site, by the way. The idea is excellent! Well, I knew this would happen to you.

I'm pretty sure I've answered every question at least 4 times, but I'm not a bot! Anyway, I hope you get everything worked out - this is a great idea!

I'm just a student who answers questions while my code is compiling or running. And that's a lot of questions so far. I hope you don't have to limit the contribution one user can make. That said, I wouldn't be to bothered by a captcha every 100 questions or so. I am not a bot! I’m just a student who answers questions while my code is compiling or running.
