There is also a trend for Webmasters to search for the category that they think is most likely to be viewed by the type of customer they hope to attract, rather than searching for the category that best encompasses their website.

The second way is to browse through the directory, looking at how sites are described in your category and in categories above and below your category, then imitate the style.
