Thats the best way, in my opinion. And in order to help, I suggest you download the WoW Census UI mod.
What that is is pretty obvious, it shows you how many people are on a server on both sides as accurately as they can. Its not 100% accurate, but one thing you do want to look for is clicking on actual realms that interest you.
There you can see the active ratio, which is how many are generally on at one time.
I'd find a server that's got a medium to large population and then check server pages from that chart to see what the active ratio is.
My server is laughing skull. Its a high population PVP server, and its got a ratio of 1:1.6 Alliance/Horde. That means that theres three horde for every two alliance online regularly.
You might want to pick a server thats 1:1 or a server that favors your faction or favors the other. I actually prefer PVP servers where my faction has fewer people online. You can also check and see what classes are common on those pages, make sure your server shows a balance and not "theres a billion rogues and hunters and only five mages on this server every month"
I generally suggest high population servers, the auction house is active on high pop servers and theres lots of raiding and alt raising and general activity to take part in.

The green writing is what the game wants you to choose, because it's a low population realm. For them, it means less server clogging. For you, it means less condensed populations in popular areas, meaning less lag. However, it also means more difficulty finding a group and a smaller selection on the auction house, which may mean increased prices.
Generally, people join the game because they already have friends playing. If you know anyone who plays, join the same server and same faction as them and you can play together.
Failing that, join a realm that suits your playing style. Normal is the preferred style. There is no player vs. player action without consent, except in certain areas. PvP is the opposite, where people can attack members of the other faction at damn near any time, any place. RP is roleplaying, a normal realm where the players are expected to assume their character's personality at any given time, which I think is dumb but a lot of people get into it. RPPvP is a PvP realm where people are expected to role play. Expect lots of thees and thous and putting a lot of emotes between asterisks like this. *ends his advice and wanders off into the sunset*
