 * Hi Marco,
 * The only way blackhole traps/blocks bots is if they disobey the site’s robots
   rules and follow the trigger link. So if amazon or some bot is not getting trapped,
   it means they are obeying your robots rules and/or have not fallen into the trap.
   Also make sure the site is not running any page cache plugins, as explained on
   the plugin page, docs, etc.
 * I hope this helps. Let me know if I can provide any further infos.
