SEO...Necessary?

[Fennec]

OK, so my website (selling an ebook) is only getting 15-25 hits a day, even though I'm writing articles for ArticlesBase and I have it as a signature link in several forums.

I want to stay anonymous as an author of this book, so no Facebook, Twitter or Youtube videos...

Plus how will that work on Facebook? My Ebook is for people with poor social skills, so I can't imagine people seeking to join "Social Skills" groups since they wouldn't be anonymous.

Oh and let's not forget I'm targeting people with a lacking social life, so how likely is it that they're active on FB/Twitter anyway? lol

I can't afford to pay for AdWords, etc.

I keep hearing about SEO, but I know nothing about it. I know nothing about HTML and all that fancy stuff. I made my site using the Host Wizard. SEO seems like a world of complication.

Is SEO that effective? I also hear that it's very tricky and best left to experts and is EXTREMELY expensive, but I hear it being talked about like it's a standard procedure now.

Right now I'm kind of stuck when it comes to promoting my site and getting traffic. All I know of SEO so far is adding keywords to the site content that hopefully the search engines will catch and list in people's search results.

Are there any other methods for technology idiots like me, or will it be necessary to use SEO?
