AmazonBot returns 403 Forbidden when it cannot verify your key file. Follow these steps:

1. Create a plain text file named {your-key}.txt (e.g. abc123.txt)
2. The file must contain only your key string — no spaces, no newlines
3. Upload it to your website root: https://yourdomain.com/{your-key}.txt
4. Verify it's publicly accessible in an incognito browser window
5. Check robots.txt — ensure Amazonbot is NOT disallowed
6. Resubmit — AmazonBot will crawl and verify the key file automatically

AmazonBot is an official IndexNow participant (since 2023). The 403 is always a key verification failure, not a service block.
