    compute-1.amazonaws.com bot / scrape?

    What does AmazonAWS.com have to do with spiders and scraping?

    They are hitting my site lately and i`m not sure for what search engine or reason?

    Amazon has services where they rent out computer space to third parties, could it be that? Or do you think it is Amazon themselves doing it.

    The Alexa bot identifies itself as from Alexa though - or I thought it always used to.
