You may have tried to get your website listed in ODP and found that you had difficulty finding the right category for your site. I know I had the problem when attempting to list Ceboa, an online suite of tools for expensing and invoicing. One easy way to determine your category is to first go to Google Directory. Once you are there you can enter a keyword expression that best represents what a prospective client might use to find your service in google. I entered "invoice software" to start. The returned results listed a number of websites each with a category line that looks like
Category: Computers > Software > Accounting > Billing This link takes you to a page listing similar websites all with the same category. Now if you look at these sites and they are similar to what your site does - then you can use the link at the bottom of the page to "Submit a Site" on ODP. If the listed websites are very different than yours then you might try a different keyword search term to find the right fit. Being able to justify why your website fits into a particular category is an important factor in getting listed.
