These sites operate outside of the official app marketplaces like the iTunes App Store and the Android Market, for example.
Smokin Apps
Features the top mobile apps for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Nokia, Palm and Windows Mobile. Smokin Apps just sold to new owners, so it's in a transition period right now. However, even without a brand-name affiliation like Appolicious has with Yahoo, for instance, the site has been driving large numbers of downloads to the apps it showcases.
AppsFire
Isn't quite like the others. It's not just a website, but also an iPhone application that allows users to discover and share the best apps.
AppStore HQ
This site featuring apps for Android, iPhone, iPad and even Web-based HTML apps. Here, you can find what apps are hottest on the Web (mentioned by press or blogs), what are hottest on Twitter and it offers app reviews. AppStoreHQ currently gets 836,000 visits per month.
Chom
Chom is an app discovery engine that combines app search with personalized recommendations.
Appolicious
Yahoo partner site, ranks and recommends iPhone, iPad, Android and Yahoo applications using a number of mechanisms, including reviews, likes (its own, not Facebook's) and friend recommendations
