Should I block temporary pages
let them get indexed. Google won't have a problem for you taking pages down on your site. They probably won't accrue much PR in a couple of months so you could probably just remove them and be fine and mass 301 them to the main product page Even better create unique descriptions for them and keep them live and also put them up on your new site. Careful setting up multiple sites and interlinking or you can get penalized

Affiliate links with hash tags
I remember that post by Rand too, and using hashtags certainly didn't hurt us. In the post-penguin era though, I might be a little cautious about those affiliate links because if your program is of any size, you are likely to fairly quickly create an unnatural linking profile with them. Despite (or because of) our hundreds of thousands of affiliate links, we are making them all nofollow now.

Where does "Pages Similar" link text come from?
Looks like Google is picking the keyword meta tag as the anchor text and description tag for the detail. Though it might be picking the most relevant keyword, on the basis of page content, from the list instead of the first one everytime. Just something I found checking the pages above. The anchor texts are strangely the very first in the list of keywords.

Rel Canonical Syntax
To quote W3C draft specification on HTML5 Attributes are placed inside the start tag, and consist of a name and a value, separated by an "=" character. The attribute value can remain unquoted if it doesn't contain spaces or any of " ' ``` = < or >. Otherwise, it has to be quoted using either single or double quotes. The value, along with the "=" character, can be omitted altogether if the value is the empty string. The accepted convention is " but according to the standard both are supported. P.S. Is a version of your site live, if so I would maybe like to blog about it as it is related to what we are doing in baby toddler items (looking at your avatar).
