If the guidelines I outlined in SEO for Self Publishing Authors – Part 1 is not sufficient to get your author website on the first page of the Google Search results for your author name or key word phrase, then you should supplement the items I discussed with these additional Search Engine Optimization steps:

Links are very important in Search Engine Optimization. The best way to help your website is with SEO-optimized press releases done regularly. This should give you ample link-back to your website to increase your Ranking on the search engines.
