Lists

Instead of using complete sentences and paragraphs, you can consider using an outline mode using hierarchical lists (unordered or ordered). The main advantage of this approach is that it is easier for viewers to find the hyperlinks, and the one-link-per-line convention makes it easier for viewer to parse the content.

Using hierarchical lists also give you the ability to structure links within the same page. In other words, your website can be very organized and structured this way.

Lists are plain text in HTML. Webpages using hierarhical lists also load very quickly. On the other hand, since lists are still text based, your hyperlinks are still kind of small, although they are now easier to locate.
