Is the <a data-uri="">link SEO friendly?</a>

[MartinPanayotov]

We've earned a great link from a popular website but it is in a strange format:

<a data-uri="http:;;;;;;;;www.domain.com;;;;" target="_blank">blue widgets</a>

It is still visible as a link from the web browsers, but I was wondering how will it perform in terms of SEO visibility and crawabillity? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Martin

Is this "link" inside a CSS? It doesn't seem like it's the kind of "link" that would pass any value to your domain. It seems like a way for them to use your widget... Anyway, I've never seen that in place of an href before, or with that structure

data_uri is usually how you'd see it.

Hey Brian,

Thanks for the comment. This link was inside the html and not the css. The browser interprets that as a regular link. Very strange..
