PROVIDING REVENUES TO USERS AFFILIATED WITH A SALES REWARD SYSTEM

摘要

Techniques are described herein for rewarding members affiliated with a sales reward system with a portion of revenues from the purchase of goods and/or services resulting from advertisements placed by the members on various Web sites. The portion of revenues is provided by the suppliers of the goods and/or services which the advertisements promote. The portion of revenues rewarded to a member depends on the number of purchase transactions made as a result of the advertisements placed by the member. For example, if the number of purchase transactions reaches a designated goal (e.g., a threshold set by the supplier), the member receives a portion of revenues that is greater than the portion of revenues that is received if the goal is not reached.
