Amazon has quietly rolled out a significant update to Author Central—you can no longer include URLs in your author bio. While it might seem like a small tweak, this change has big implications for how authors connect with readers and drive traffic to their websites. In this episode, we unpack what this Author Central update means for your author platform and outline a simple, effective workaround to ensure your readers still find their way to your site.
We also explore the broader importance of keeping your Author Central profile and bio fresh and optimized. Your Author Central page is more than just a formality—it’s a crucial part of your visibility on Amazon, and now, more than ever, it’s essential to make every word count.
But that’s not all—we’re also diving into the latest shifts in Amazon search trends, especially as they impact genre fiction authors. If you write romance, thrillers, fantasy, or other popular fiction categories, you’ll want to hear what’s changing and how it could affect your discoverability. Are these adjustments a preview of even bigger algorithmic changes to come?
Tune in as we share expert insights, actionable strategies, and the tools you need to stay ahead of the curve and make the most of your Author Central presence. Whether you’re a debut novelist or a seasoned indie author, this is one episode you won’t want to miss!
