does internal links in DIV elements pass any SEO juice?

Hi,

I decided to take a deeper look in my internal links and I have the following question:

Does the internal links in DIV elements pass any SEO juice or I should disregard them?

I am asking because on some pages I have internal links in DIV elements from plugins (i.e. post preview widgets and more), but I am not sure if they will have any impact at all. On other hand I don`t want to "over optimise" a page with too many links (from content and DIV element from the same page).

What do you guys think?

For sure you will get the link juice little bit. But make sure that it looks natural and not intentional.

Just as a heads up, a div cannot be inside an anchor element (an anchor is an inline element where as a div is a block element). That is invalid markup. Will it pass link juice? Probably. Is it correct? nopes.

The anchor is inside the div, not vice versa.

Check an actual example below. These little boxes contains links to local pages and I am wondering if I have to replace them with links in the text body, since these pages are important to me.

But I guess it should be less compared to contextual links (in the text body)?
