Why is Amazon crawling my website? Is this hurting us?

Hi mozzers,

I  discovered that Amazon is crawling our site and exploring thousands of profile pages. In a single day it crawled 75k profile pages.

1. Is this related to AWS?
2. Is this something we should worry about or not?  If so what could be a solution to counter this?
3. Could this affect our Google Analytics organic traffic?

@jacombo Amazon requires sellers to offer a minimum 30-day return window, accept returns of new, unopened items, and process refunds within two business days. Sellers must cover return shipping costs for errors or defective items. Compliance with safety and security standards is also essential.

To ensure your return policies meet these standards:

Stay Updated: Regularly review Amazon’s guidelines.
Clear Communication: Clearly state your return policy on listings.
Quality Control: Implement a rigorous quality control process.
Amazon Consulting Service: Consider using an Amazon consulting service to audit and improve your policies.

What are the basic guidelines and requirements for third party sellers' return policies on Amazon, and how can I ensure they meet safety and security standards for buyers?

My website https://www.avenuessouthresidences.com also has traffic coming from Amazon bots. I wonder if it's my competitors doing something funny or it's Amazon itself doing it.

1. Is this related to AWS? Yes, most likely a customer on AWS scraping your site.
2. Is this something we should worry about or not?  If so what could be a solution to counter this? Monitor it. If the crawling get's ridiculous, you could have site performance issues. Could deny IP addresse(s) in .htacces or try via Robot.txt file.
3. Could this affect our Google Analytics organic traffic? If your site performance suffers, could affect organic position and decrease traffic.

Good luck!
