Hello everyone - bear with me I'm new at this SEO game and have tried to struggle along on my own for the past two months doing my own research along the way. So this is the first time I have asked a question to anyone.
I have subscribed to web position gold and wordtracker, adding my website into directories (a slow process), and keyword optimising my pages. I have some presence in Google and MSN, but it's not brilliant.
Whilst further researching the subject of SEO, I have just come across the Inktomi paid inclusion service. Marketleap say that the Inktomi paid inclusion service should be the first step in all search engine marketing campaigns. I simply want to ask all of you if you agree? Thank you for your time.

Welcome, cdgeorge! 
Since your site is already in MSN's database, you are already listed with Inktomi.
Paying just gets you into the database, it doesn't get your site ranked any higher.

also be aware that the paid inclusion will only list the url that you submit with. It doesn't even spider any other pages on your site.
I made the mistake of buying the paid inclusion program last week. Now I'm learning the hard way. Hopefully the regular Ink bot will see my site on their own.

Welcome cdGeorge !
As Jill said, paid inclusion doesn't hold much hope to help you at this point, unless you're going to use it to test changes to the page(s) you include in it and want faster feedback.
A couple of suggestions for you...
First, go through some of the threads here. Try to soak in as much as you can, but don't let yourself get overwhelmed in the details. A good place to start is the [url=http://www.highrankings.com/forum/index.php/topic/833-tips-for-new-seos/]Tips for Newbies[/url] thread.
Second, subscribe to Jill's Highrankings Newletter. And check out the archives of it. Good stuff there.
Third, and most importantly, keep reading here on the forums and don't hesitate to ask if something just doesn't make sense to you. You'll find that folks here are pretty good about pitching in to help with your education process.
Fourth, there are no "dumb" questions. Except those that go unasked.
