> I wonder if the various shopbots which seem to access the Amazon pages (and other sites) for you, count as a hit? I was wondering the same thing. It seem like it would, since I'm not sure how they could distinguish a bot accessing the site. If that is the case, the percentage of sales from the hits is likely to have decreased . Does anyone know for certain about the bots counting as hits? Also, does anyone know how AMZN accounts for the commissions paid to their associates? From their last filing, I get the sneaking suspicion that they are being accounted for as marketing expenses instead of cost of goods sold, thereby making their margins look better than they really are.
