Actually, this is how the submissions panned out:

Submitted PromotionBase.com to:
Computers and Internet/Internet/World Wide Web/Site Announcement and Promotion

Submitted WebmasterBase.com to:
Home > Arts > Design Arts > Graphic Design > Web Page Design and Layout

Submitted eCommerceBase.com to:
Home > Business and Economy > Electronic Commerce

We never submitted SitePoint.com, and if we had, it
would have been submitted to Business and Economy/Small
Business Information.

When submitting we obviously wrote in descriptions
relevant to each site and category. Yahoo does not make
use of META Description and KEYWORD tags at all, so
anything we would have in there would not affect a
Yahoo Business Express listing.
