You and John make a good point about that position describing market 
research, targetted data mining and copyright/SE policy enforcement. 

>From the term "surfer" I had visions of getting paid $42k to wander 
aimlessly from site to site, kind of like getting carried away by all the 
Star Wars info at Wikipedia and burning time following link after link 
into the wee hours of the morning.  "Surf" has always had a 
free-time/consumer connotation to me I suppose.  :)

I guess "web researcher" or "information analyst" would be a better name 
for what's intended by the salary.com description.
