AppCraver is another site listed above that charges for reviews, and for 'expedited' reviews.
Both sites are up front on their policies and don't try to hide them, so to each their own I guess.
My approach is that this is something I would not feel at all good about, it's not the way I want to do things. In fact, I'm part of a group of sites that takes a clear stance against accepting pay for coverage or reviews. It's called OATS (Organization for App Testing Standards) - 148 Apps i one fo the founding members - and I believe the principles are good, solid ones.
My site, as mentioned above is Just Another iPhone Blog, by the way ...
