    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.

    They aren't affiliated... They are one and the same!

    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!
