Should you block Amazonbot?
It collects pages for model training, not for answering questions in real time. Blocking it keeps your future content out of that operator's training data, but it does not take you out of AI search answers, which other crawlers feed. Block it if you do not want your content in training sets; allow it if you want future models to know your brand.
It ignores Crawl-delay and caches robots.txt for up to 30 days. Alexa's search uses a separate crawler, Amzn-SearchBot.
How to block or allow Amazonbot in robots.txt
Block it everywhere:
User-agent: Amazonbot
Disallow: /Allow it everywhere:
User-agent: Amazonbot
Allow: /Rules are matched by the token on the User-agent line. Test the result with the robots.txt tester before you publish it.
