Ultimately you should do the homework to find the best category, by searching through categories and looking for similar sites to yours. The more time you spend on this, the more likely you are to get in the "right" category. Failure to do this, will for sure cause delays while editors move your site around.

First search DMOZ for various phrases and look at the categories that come up. Then look at those categories, look at the sites that are in them and look at the the category description.

Learn the difference between the top level categories - Most likely you will want a Business category.

e.g a search for performance based marketing

gets

# Business: Marketing and Advertising: Direct Marketing (1 match)
# Computers: Multimedia: Digital Video: Services (1)
# Business: Marketing and Advertising: Internet Marketing: Marketing Services (1)
# Business: Management: Consulting: A (1)
# Computers: Software: Marketing: Sales and Marketing Productivity (1)

Business: Marketing and Advertising: Direct Marketing for example has a description

Direct marketing involves marketing products and services directly to consumers and businesses. Typical forms of this marketing involve print media (such as flyers, mailing pieces, catalogues, and magazines), direct-response television and radio advertising, telephone solicitations, and the internet.

This category is for sites related to businesses that specialize in providing technical and creative support, goods, and services to organizations that market their products and services in this way.

Repeat this process to find other possible categories.
