Karrimor asks me to add a nofollow attribute to a link to their website I've included in a blog post I did. Would love to have your comment on that request, why would they ask this?

Subject: Karrimor Links | |
Hello Fabien, | |
My name is XXX and I am responsible for the website www.karrimor.co.uk. | |
I am contacting you as the following link point towards the Karrimor website: | |
http://blog.penso.info/2013/06/16/packing-for-a-6-months-trip/ | |
I would first link to thank you for writing about Karrimor and we very much appreciate | |
your loyalty to our company however, due to Googles strict guidelines may I please ask | |
for you to make this link a nofollow? | |
To manually change the link, you need to add the rel=”nofollow” attribute to the <a> | |
tag in your hyperlinks. | |
Here is an example: | |
<a href=”http://www.yourwebsite.com/”rel=”nofollow”>Your Website</a> | |
The nofollow link will in no way affect your website, it simply tells Google not to | |
pass PageRank. | |
If you are unable to do this, may I regretfully ask for the link to be removed to | |
ensure that our website is abiding by the rules set by Google. | |
If you could please reply once you have rectified the link, that would be very | |
much respected. | |
Thank you for both your time and understanding, |
