What type of link is this?

[ProfKahn]

<a href="http://www.example.com/improve-your-blah-blah" rel="null" type="url" id="link-dtb6fmxjygilo04z0d9il766r" class="url-link" target="_blank">

Is the aforementioned a followable link? I'm confused specifically by "rel=null" and the class"url-link" and unsure if somehow java is making it nofollow or the null is a command that accomplishes something similar. Tried duckduckgoing it to no avail.

Class is a custom attribute

So that right there could mean anything right? Behind the scenes it could be follow or nofollow correct?

It is a follow-able link, though somewhat confused. The id and class allow for Javascript manipulation of the link if wanted (change it to link somewhere else for instance).

I don't think the "rel=null" is valid. It should be ignored by the browser. Same for "type=url". Maybe these are deprecated.
