Surfmaster - Who coined the term?
 

RogerV said he created that word a year ago, but after exstensive searches, we found that Turbo Angel was the first user to use it on GFY.

Now, there is a chance Roger did coin it, GFY only lets you search back a year.

Surfmasters... Taking surfers and making them surfers who now have access to freeehosted galleries, free content, and enough money to buy cigs for the month!

the smart surfmaster can even get access to members areas

"yea lemme pull some content from the members area for my next gallery"

Surfmasters eh.

kick them in the balls.

wow its that old

i thought JR came up with it

thgat was the first i saw of it

I saw it first by JR, but if Roger used it first and he can show where-
I respectt he patnet laws like anybody else
;)

Not sure who coined it but I know a few people in this biz that started by joining programs just for free porn :/

Lol, nice term. Never heard about it before....

we need to do something about this, thats one of few reasons I think twistyscash is smart, when you sign up they actually check your site url you provide and dont activate your account unless you actually have a functioning site up, not fullproof but it does help

That is because twistscash.com is run by one of the most talented webmasters of today, yesterday, and the future. :)

It's a simple way of weeding out the chaff, I agree.

I hand check urls given on affiliate apps, sometimes run whois checks, and will also at times verify that the mailing address is legit through the post office web site.

None of those are fullproof, but you'd be surprised at the long, long list of people I've banned, simply because they did not provide an active adult URL on their application.

Very nice! :):):)

Jayman and jaymancash.com has a special place in my heart!

Thank you, Anthony. That means alot, coming from you. :)

It's the truth! Jay and Tom have built an great team!

I was supposed to see him this week, but time constraints won't allow it. :(

We personally call each new wm signup to validate that he/she is an actual adult wm before activating them

good policy all around to verify now a days

I'm going to meet him, 3xTom, Mrs.Tom, etc, next month.

I'm looking forward to it. They've been great to me, and it's time that I actually 'meet' them. :)

Edit: Oh, and to answer the original question...

I don't know who coined the term. I first heard it on Oprano. :winkwink:

I'm curious. :) What do you learn by calling them?

I pick up the phone and dial the number they provided in the application

introduce myself as their rep. Feel them out. You can pick out a surfer in seconds

What program do you rep?

SEXMoney.com

I prob call 5-10 potential webmasters a day from our sign up process

they get a welcome e-mail saying that we are in the process to setting up their acct

They dont get activated until i do it manually

never heard of it, so it can't be important

Using that train of thought, until today I've never noticed you.

Tarter sauce.. nothing I can promote there :/ but i like how you verify everyone.

I'm the type of person that that would be an instant mark-this-program-off-my-list type of thing. I hate the phone, and have been known to go weeks without answering it, unless it was a child-related call.

If it works for you though, that is all that matters. :)

Yep, we do the same.

It sucks that it needs to be done, but it's a necassary evil nowadays. :disgust

Sorry AlexQ back in dec 2004

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=398532

I have over 600 affilates in my list

Not exactly accurate.

guess I should read the entire thread first

Ahhh, I couldn't get the search to go back further than one year, I posted that.

Alex G it is! Congrats Alex! Are you still around?

I have him on ignore, so didn't see it either.

Amazing a noob did something you could not. Who would of thunk?

Dance Pat Dance!

A year and newer is the default, it can be changed

i feel so unoriginal now :(


i guess its a natural combination to two common and relavent words and it perfectly describes many in this biz and particularly on this board (right pat?)

:)

Thanks Homie!

Love that term... :thumbsup

What do you do again?

Opps edit I should read the thread

i abuse newbie idiots without a clue. why you might ask?
... why not? i'm here, you're here. i'm bored. its like shooting fish in a barrel. fun for a few minutes... then i go back to work.

what do you do genius... besides beg for money and claim to "work for 2 major programs and own some paysites" --- all while doing stereo installs to make ends meet. at least arlo enjoys the benefit of your stupidity. at least someone gains something from it.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Acctually it was like 2-3 yeas ago. if GFY will look back that far I even posted a thred on it..why would I make it up :1orglaugh

Actually If I remember right it might have been under my old handle Pornkings.

Either way it was a good thread about it
