I selected this article from Curatti written by Andy Capaloff because it explains why you should avoid "dofollow" links when publishing sponsored posts.

Why follow links are a turn-off when it comes to Google search.

Avoid Using Follow Links in Sponsored Posts

In order to maintain growth on your blog it's important to follow the rules when it comes to search. I agree that your sponsored posts should not include "dofollow" links in order to avoid penalties and losing valuable traffic.

Capaloff explains the rules that Google has set forth and how they calculate your PageRank.

Here's what caught my attention:

• Using a follow link can negatively impact your website's ranking in search results. Google refers to these as "link schemes," and you don't want your blog associated with these.

• In some instances a website can be completely removed from Google's index if they include follow links. The company who has paid you can also be penalized along with you.

• A penalty might appear anywhere from a few months to a year later. It rarely happens right away, but will catch up with you eventually.
