What does Google think about links without text, with only background?

@ervin.williamson 

Google considers links with text to be more informative and relevant than links without text, as the text provides context and information about the destination of the link. However, links without text but with a background image can still provide value to users, and Google is capable of understanding and recognizing such links. However, it is recommended to have text descriptions or alternative text (alt text) to provide context to these links, as it makes it easier for users and search engines to understand the purpose and destination of the link.
