    thats the way you should do it according to googles guide lines.

    this also stops your affiliate page ranking in google. This is always good practise and does make both sites look good to have a mixture of both follow and no follow links anyway.

    I'd say it was a good idea, especially if you have a lot of aff links on your site. It should help your seo efforts and not help those you are linking too.

    I would highly suggest either adding rel="nofollow" to your affiliate links or having them go through a redirector page on your site that is disallowed w/ robots.txt.

    That's the exactly the way to deal with paid links according to the guidelines, so if you intend to play by the rules, this is what you do.
