Quick, no time to explain. Amazon give money for dumb repetitive tasks at Mechanical Turk (no not you, Turk). More information can you find here,, like a Firefox script that makes the whole thing easier.

I hope this one works or I will be sad.

(slows down) OK, basically Amazon are using you as a cheap image analysis tool. You are given a business and place of address, and you then have to pick from a sequence of photos presumably shot while driving down the street that the business is on. You click on the photo that best shows the business (like the front door or a sign outside) and kaching, 3 cents. I've made 75c so far in like 20 minutes - not breaking the bank but I guess it adds up.
