Am i doing something wrong.Many thanks for any help on this.

I think you can just add amazonaws.com or amazonaws and it should work.. That should block all the amazon bots.

Did you add that to your robots.txt file too?

Disallow: amazonaws.com

The above is on an Amazon server. By blocking the those bots, you are blocking your feed.

Yeah, that's true. It's one or the other.

In the ban spiders mod you need to shorten the useragent string to catch more, if you are using my mod then it looks for the entire string that you entered in the list, if you shorten it to say amazonaws it will ban every bot with that in its string.

If you want to ban them via robots.txt you can use this:

Amazon is a ISP, and the user agent strings you're posting aren't bots per se. They could very well be people you're blocking.

Could well be because someone linked you on pinterest or some other big site, and people are clicking to check it out.

Don't let it bother you. It's not any kind of attack and you're not hacked. It's just internet traffic and it's harmless.
