You will want to be able to selectively chose which links you want to apply the attribute to because you don't want to apply a "nofollow" to a legitimate link within your site or to another page used for reference or another such link. A link that you do not apply a NoFollow attribute to is called a DoFollow link. Yeah...go figure!

I use Title and Nofollow For Links which can be found by searching in the Add New Plugin options within your Wordpress site. Another very popular one is Ultimate Nofollow WordPress plugin. I will use the example from Title and Nofollow for Links which is what I use. Once you have located the plugin of your choice and installed it and activated it you will be able to selectively chose "nofollow" or "dofollow" links without having to go into the plugin settings. This first example is using a “dofollow” link. To review, that would be any external or internal link that is not an affiliate link.

This example show a “nofollow” link which points toward an affiliate link.

Kathy, I love this trainer. You touched on all the crucial issues and taught me a lot. Thank you so much for your time and kindness creating such a great and informative tutorial.

This reflects great credit on you, WA, & the entire Internet community.

Besides the informational value, your style of writing is in keeping with a trait I find common among the most gifted and successful individuals in business.

Your Forever Friend.

Meaning that it's best to make all our affiliate links nofollow? Including those prettylinks?

Hey, Jerry,
That might require an answer higher than my pay grade, but I use a lot of affiliate links to different locations other than WA. It's just as easy for me to do it when I create the link as to copy in a pretty link ;-)
