Most users who are browsing the internet on a daily basis are used to determining that the simple colour different, or underline can quite often represent a link. For users that extremely new to the internet (read, my mother), they quite often don't associate blue with link and will miss the links altogether. While blue is a good indicator, the more we as designers and developers diversify by using different colours, the more most users will recognize the colour difference as something you can click on. I quite often will use a colour from the design palette, as well as a change in colour on hover for links. Just my thoughts.

I really interested in. In my opinion, the blue is a color that may be more considerable as a web link color than others. because it doesn't depend on what color your text is. Maybe you are using black, green, yellow,  and even blue itself. but as you said with an underline for a link with blue color, every users will recognize that this is a link. Maybe other colors are good for having users attention, but in my opinion ( I'm a website designer ) , our internet users know links just by blue. Again thanks for your good website and post.
