The tech giant has made 21 April 2015 a strict deadline for all sites on the internet to improve their sites to mobile friendly templates. This move has been influenced by the findings that have proved that more than 80% of internet users access the internet via smartphones which has made mobile compatibility as one of the most important factors to be taken into consideration on a site, if you are are using Blogger and Wordpress you are have access to different mobile templates and themes.

Enough Space between Links
There should be enough space between links which will make it easier for readers to click on.
