Okay...normally links can have 4 different colors: Unvisited, Visited, Active, and Hover.
If you've never visited a link it will be the "unvisited" color (for example, black). If you click on the link, during the time before the page changes and starts loading it is in the "active" state. (This is a holdover from when connection times were very slow, like on dial-up).
After you click the link and have seen the page it goes to, the link will show as the "visited" color in your browser (here it's a lighter grey color). It also usually has a line under it .
"Hover" is the color the link is when you just hold your mouse over it. Here that's a light blue color.
The idea is to provide visual clues as to where you had already browsed to or not. You can fiddle with the site styles to make the links all the same color, have a background on hover, etc etc.
