If you're using a static string for the content property, then yes,
this is what you should be seeing. However, I think Kevin's suggestion
was to use the attr() function to insert the value of the href
attribute as the :after content for each link. In this case, the
content that would be inserted would be different for each link, or at
least would reflect each link's href value.

This is what you /should/ be seeing. The :after pseudo-element inserts
its content after the content of the selected element, but still within
that element. Based on the selector you said you're using, a:after, the
text is added to the content of all of your links.
If you want it to only apply to one particular link you need to either
use a class or an id to differentiate that link from the others, which
you could then select like this:
a.class:after
a#id:after
