I try to stall it 1mm above the runway or less. Then it is smooth. I am in a different camp than Adam though, I prefer power off, unless I have screwed up, or wild sink requires a burst of power to sort things out. Those landings are generally not smooth though, just survivable!
If you are floating down the runway, power will make that worse.

1mm above the runway? How the heck do you judge that without a radio altimeter ;-)
But seriously, my instructor said he wanted to hear the stall warner sounding on landing - it was nothing to do with the speed but more to do with the attitude of the plane, on nose wheel planes hearing the stall warning means the nose is high enough to ensure the main gear touches down first and I've stuck to that - if I don't hear the stall warner, something wasn't quite right with the landing....
However, that doesn't mean I want to hear the stall warner whilst still descending, just whilst flaring.....
