About

Contxbot is Amazon's web crawler that processes and indexes webpage content to understand website topics and context for delivering relevant advertisements through Amazon's advertising network. You can see how often contxbot visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.

Expected Behavior

The behavior of intelligence gatherers depends on the goals of their clients. For example, a client might be interested in brand sentiment, in which case the agent would crawl related social media or blog posts at a more frequent rate than unrelated websites.

How Do I Block contxbot?

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Edits Are Not Scalable

New agents are created every day. Instead, serve a continuously updating robots.txt that blocks new agents automatically.

Set Up Automatic Robots.txt

You can block contxbot or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.
