Follow or NoFollow?

I'm very confused with the whole NoFollow thing.

I am promoting products from Amazon on my website. If I link directly to them, do I want to follow or NoFollow?

For things like that it really won't make any difference!

I'd consider using a redirect script for the links though.

In this case it doesn't matter. If you would have wanted to promote your website, then it would be highly recommended to get dofollow links for increasing your SERp, PR......As a suggestion i would go for nofollow.

Why would I need a redirect script?

So, if I have a content page about the Kindle and I have on a sidebar a Kindle accessory. Just an image, and I directly link that image to Amazon, I should nofollow?

What is the point of this nofollow business? I'm confused by all the jibber jabber I've been reading about it

Agreed, it doesn't matter much in your case.

There's a school of thought for those who are link building which says it helps to have some 'no follow' links - would look very odd if all links were 'follow'.
