Make sure your name appears in the <title> and maybe in <h1>. Beyond this,
you should mainly rely on incoming links with your name as the anchor text
(see below).

If your name, for example, was Keith Smith, you would struggle not only to
surpass professors and famous people with the same name. You may also
struggle to bear "Keith" and "Smith" arbitrarily appearing in different
places in a highly-ranked page.

<div style="font-size: 150%;"><a href="http://www.myname.com";>my
name</a></div>
would be better. You must not hide content from human visitors for the sake
of SEO.
