You are classifying advertisements, it pays $0.04 per hit and takes about 10 seconds per hit to complete. If you can move at 10 sec per hit you could potentially make $14.40 per hour!
Calculation: 10 sec per hit = 360 hits per hour X 0.04 = $14.40 dollars of income in 1 hour
There are currently 1365 (as of 9:53AM CST 10/23/2011) Hits on Amazon Mechanical Turk (mturk) which amounts to $54.60. This is also what we call a regular requester. They are routinely posting hits and if you miss out on some keep checking because they should be back.
WARNING: This hit seems very simple and it is, however if you rush too fast and provide hasty answers this requester is VERY quick to reject your work. I usually am very careful to submit quality answers, but even I rushed a bit too much on this and got about 100 of my 400 hits completed rejected. Just want to give you a heads up because that can really hurt your approval rate.
As with most hits, if you are unfamiliar with the requester and unsure of how they will view the quality of your work, it's good to do 5 sample hits and see how many they reject. My rule of thumb is, if they reject any of those 5, and you tried your best, do NOT do any more. Sometimes you get super picky requesters that are not happy with anyone's work. Those requesters on Amazon Mechanical Turk (murk) are a waste of your time when you work at home on mturk!
Here's a sample of the hit from Classify AdImages:
Please enter the name of the product being advertised
***THE SHOW A GRAPHIC OF AN AD HERE***
Please enter the name of the product being advertised
X IF YOU CAN YOU ENTER A NAME HERE, AND SELECT A COMMON NAME IF IT'S IN THE DATABASE IF NOT YOU SELECT AN APPROPRIATE NEW NAME
X This is not an ad
X The image failed to load
X The Product or Company Name is not known
X Contains adult content
Suggestions to Determine Product-Name:
The goal is to identify the (most likely) party that paid for this advertisement.
If not an ad, or the ad shows adult-content: Click on the appropriate skip-reason.
If product(s) from sponsor(s)/promoter(s) (i.e., not from producer/distributor/seller/co-brander): Enter the (most-prominent) sponsor-name. For example:
pick Groupon from its ad promoting Tony's Pizza.
pick Starburst from its ad sponsoring Miley's Concert.
If a single product advertised by its producer/distributor/seller/co-brander (i.e., not by sponsor/promoter): Enter the most specific product-name. For example:
pick most-specific product: pick Ford Mustang over Ford.
For single-product ad, ignore producer/distributor/seller/co-brander:
Ignore seller/distributor: pick Dell Latitude in a Best Buy ad for it.
Ignore co-brander: pick Verizon Wireless from its ad with a Samsung phone in it.
Ignore co-brander: pick Zynga Online Game in its ad with link to Facebook.
Ignore co-brander: pick Dell Latitude in its ad with Microsoft Windows and/or Intel logo.
If multiple products from a distributor/seller/producer: Enter the distributor/seller/producer name. (e.g., pick Walmart from its ad showing TVs and phones and clothes.)
Using autocompletion in the entry-form, first try to find (and then select) an existing product-name.
If autocompletion did not provide a matching product-name, then enter the new product-name.
