Hypertext reading
According to the article by Liu, it is apparent that people who are reading off screens look for keywords. This being the case, when designing a website, it would probably be a good idea to make links out of keywords in the text. This link can take the viewer to a more detailed explanation of the keyword, and the viewer can choose whether to read it or not. They probably won't click on the link if they don't have any interest in the keyword. This eliminates boring the viewer by including all the details in the same text.

I fell the same way about the article that keywords and links are very important. Todays reader scans the page for what grabs their eye and think is important. It is also important that as an author you give them thought. It sounds like you have a good understanding of their importance.
I agree with you that it is probably a good idea to begin the case with links of the keywords so people can still get the just of what you are talking about. Its a good way to get attention and focus it.
