A sales system for monitoring and/or rewarding marketing agents' efforts has a plurality of marketing agents, a marketing information medium to which at least one symbol for specifying a marketing agent is attached, a plurality of merchants, and a management control center which carries out data collection services. Whenever a purchase is conducted via one marketing agent, an electronic transaction subsystem is introduced to specify the marketing agent by the medium and to settle accounts between the merchant, the marketing agent, and/or the control center. The subsystem also allocates a series of symbols and/or a communication application in the purchaser's personal computer corresponding to a new route which leads the purchaser to the merchant's URL(s) whenever the purchaser accesses the system via the new route for the first time so that the system can specify the involved marketing agent even in case that the marketing agent's URL is skipped in the subsequent accesses by the purchaser.
