In a 1.5-ary hierarchical rooted tree compensation-based referral marketing system, each associate in the tree has one whole associate spot and one half associate spot in a subordinate tier of the tree. New associate referrals are places into the upmost, leftmost open spot in the tree. Referrals are either placed into a whole spot downline of the referring associate, or into two half spots downline of the referring associate, depending on whether the upmost, leftmost unoccupied associate spot is a whole spot or a half spot. Referrals by an associate in two half spots alternate downline of the two half spots occupied by the referrer. Associates in whole spots earn each commissions earned by each downline associate, and associates in two half spots earn half commission for each associate downline of both half spots. |
