Does Fatbot ever sleep? Can Fatbot count? Is Fatbot worth the bandwidth it eats?

[amy]

4 Fatbot questions:

1. Does Fatbot ever sleep?  I have a minimum of 10, and sometmes 30 or more, of them on TS 24/7. 

2.  Why does it take 20 Fatbots to do what one RedCarpet can do?

3. Can Fatbot count? Why does it think my store has 16,000 items when I only have 11,000?

4. Is Fatbot worth the bandwidth it eats? I provide a permanent hangout for Fatbot and his Fatbotettes and in return he only gives me 150-200 weekly referrals.  Is that a fair exchange -especially considering the less demanding Googlebot provides me with an average of 2800 weekly visitors through regular search and another 2400 through product search ?

The bandwidth expense is less than you'd pay for 200 clicks from Shopping.com

:ditto: much less, and I'd be willing to bet the conversion rates are about the same.

A. Why  does it take 50 Slurps to delivery UNtargeted traffic when it only take 20 Fatbots to deliver targeted shoppers?

B.  That one RedCarpet has only found 1,400 items and doesn't produce nearly as many referrals.
