In this stylesheet:
http://www.asbpe.org/css/con08styles.css
you set the colours/background colours for _all_ the a:visited,  
a:hover and a:active elements.

The a:link elements are set in
http://www.asbpe.org/asbpe_main_styles.css


For example, this group of selectors:

.sidebar-winner > h5 > a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active {}
or this one
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 > a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active {}

Try
http://gallery.theopalgroup.com/selectoracle/
to help understand/translate what those groups of selectors mean exactly


As for those, that is completely overkill, and will select absolutely  
nothing:

.Head2 a:link:visited:hover:active, .Head3  
a:link:visited:hover:active, .Head4  
a:link:visited:hover:active, .Head5  
a:link:visited:hover:active, .Head6 a:link:visited:hover:active {}
