My aim, in spending time on sites like this and others, was to have word of mouth accomplish a lot of my advertising. But that, too, never took off... I never got a "buzz" going from any online presence.

Just Facebook and conventions? Surely there are other outlets. And the word of mouth, thats not going to work very well when no one knows youre an author. As I said, I checked out your profile and it didnt have so much as one link to your official site. I found that listed as your website once I clicked on your name, think WW told me to do that Im not sure, but even so, maybe you should make it a little easier to access your site. A link in your sig has already been mentioned, for instance. I dont know if a picture of one of your books as an avatar will help but it might. I do know I had no idea what your avatar was until I went to your site and most others will not either. Thats just a few ideas, Im sure there are other ways to advertise without much money. There has to be, you arent the first and surely wont be the last author with very little money.
