Is this a hard link?

I am a bit unsure whether this can be considered a hard link or not:

<a href="http://www.XXXX.com/advertising/index.php?section=redir&amp;zid=4cdd3be4ed3ac&amp;affid=0&amp;kid=0" onmouseover="window.status='Go to: www.YYYY.com';return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" target="_new"><img src="http://www.XXXX.com/advertising/banners/4cdd3be4e75d4.jpg" width="250" height="90" alt="Click here" border="0" title="Click here"></a>
<img src="http://www.XXXX.com/advertising/banners/4cdd3be4e75d4.jpg" width="250" height="90" alt="Click here" border="0" title="Click here">

Can someone help me find the answer?
