It's on my forum all the time, what does it want? :confused:
They seem not to cache inner pages.

Basically it is Amazon's search engine. Currently Amazon uses Google but is working on their own. It took up A LOT of my bandwidth, but I will let it for now hoping that when Amazon's search goes live, it might pay off.

how is amazon affiliated with alexa?
I just checked it and it eats some nice bandwidth per month indeed.

People realy underestimate Alexa because of their ranking tool... I won't hurt to leave it and let it spider you, it will give some results in Alexa and A9 for sure!
