i guess because webmasters have requested this feature from kaktusan for that purpose. two things happen when you use nofollow on sponsor links:

- your hardlink trades get more juice because you have less overall outgoing links
- you prevent penalties that can come with linking to "bad neighborhoods"

yes they still take the text into consideration.
