SEO is important if you want to get traffic from Search Engines.
For majority of webmasters, SEs are the primary source of traffic.

In some cases, webmasters may not really want any traffic from SEs.

For example : creating an affiliate marketing / promotion page/site
and then getting all the highly targeted traffic via CPC campaigns.

If you are into website business than SEO skill is must for you. Direct traffic wont give you that much revenue and to keep direct traffic or reference traffic you should always submit your post to social bookmarking.

But once you have done nice SEO and your website on SERP ranking than just a little effort everyday and you will get good amount of traffic.

If you want a lot of traffic flowing to your site--then yes, it is necessary. The only way you can pick up new viewers from a search engine is if you optimized your site enough to have it appear high in the search rankings. If this is unimportant to you, then you don't need seo. However, it's a common goal and widely discussed for a reason.

Traffic from search engine is always good and best thing about search engine traffic is they have high conversion rates compare to some referral or direct traffic.

So if you want to earn good money through advertisment or if you want to increase your sale than SEO is must.
