I've seen this a couple of times now, and it's worth noting. This is the kind of thing that makes the difference between an SL savvy merchant and a merchant who is simply applying physical reality advertising rules to Second Life.
This sign was at Nirvana, a fabulous place for quality and fantasy gardening needs. If you keep their store in your picks they pay you 50 lindens. Brilliant idea, win/win for everyone, especially newbies who don't have their picks filled up anyway.

I'm no software expert, but I saw a JVA system for L$1500 on SL Exchange that takes care of the details. I don't have the system, but from the ad copy I deduce that the AV must have the pick for a month to get paid. Now, Linden Labs has had the capability for some time
but as far as I know the info on how many avis are listing a location as a pick is priviledged, or too complex for me to determine.
I went ahead and tried this, though, and lo and behold if I didn't get 50 lindens the next day when I went back to click the sign, per the instructions. And I'd only had it in there for a day, not the stipulated month. I'll keep it in there, and see what happens. I would have Nirvana in my picks anyway, so I lose nothing.

Sounds like a cool idea, but how do they keep track of it? Does everyone have to be manually checked each day to see if it is still in their picks, or is there a say to automate the process?

Not sure exactly how it works, either, but you can buy a system that does most of it for you. I updated the blog, thanks for reading and commenting!
