Some sites that 'sell' text links also state that they will give a text link BUT with rel='nofollow' attribute. Probably because they're concerned that the outgoing links to sponsors/ads/affiliates might be punished by Google... as links(votes) should be given to sites that you think are useful.
Basically, if you use the
nofollow attribute in a link, it means you're not actually 'voting' the linked site.
