I've noticed over the last few days I'm receiving a lot of traffic (about 300 visits / day, roughly half my site's traffic) from the exact same search term on Google (Google Analytics shows it as the biggest traffic-driving search term by far). When I dug into my logs and Analytics, I saw the service provider on those visits is "amazon.com inc" and from my logs I see the IP addresses all come from Seattle, where Amazon is headquartered. So I'm wondering if a) this traffic is from an Amazon.com bot, and if so why it's visiting my site so much? or b) whether someone built a bot hosted on Amazon's cloud service (EC2) and THAT'S what's crawling my site, and if so why? I just want to know how to get more information about this, and whether I should be trying to block this bot or whatever it is from visiting my site (and if so, how to do it). Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
According to my guess it is a bot hosted on amazon cloud service. Maybe he is a competitor of your niche
I think that the traffic from big site like Amazon is the real and unique. I have wtite an article in Wikipendia, and this link in the external links give me around 50-70 visitor a day.
newqazter, it's not actually from the site amazon.com, but the service provider of the user is amazon.com. The traffic is coming from a Google search.
Exactly if is fact and most of all its niche backlinks and give you specific and targeted visitors. But the new content writer may feel it little bit difficult to write a piece, which fall under the criterion of Wikipedia.
