If you're suggesting what I think you're suggesting (explicitly
labelling visited links as "visited"), then you need the following
CSS, which won't work in IE6 and below (not sure about IE7 - I still
haven't seen a definitive answer about Seven's support for generated
content.

Anyway:

a:visited:after {
content: " (visited)";
color: #090;
}

Change (or remove) color as required.

HTH,
