I just use a plain html (Or php) redirect for all affiliate links. I also add the NoIndex tag to them.

  For any affiliate link you should use "nofollow". Nothing else needs to be done. Cloaking may have a benefit if it cloaks it with your own domain in the url but personally I find that visitors appreciate openness and honesty much more. And actually, so may Google.

  On many of my Amazon sites I don't bother cloaking or doing anything else like that.
  
  Consumers trust Amazon so I just link to their website using their built in linking program and call it a day.
  
  I haven't noticed any negative SEO problems from doing this either.
  
  Here are some tips to improve your earnings from a thread I started the other day.
