its a code error as there is no title...check w3c...

 

it give negative effect in result

 

it give negative effect in result

 

If there is no anchor text and no image how can it be a link? This would be a html code error, nothing would exist. Even if it did, how would you derive any seo benefit from it?

This is a hidden link and its definitely not good for SEO. Google can penalize you for this.

 

It's a normal link with syntax error, so it might be considered as a hidden links.
