A Way to Track Sales When People "Share" on Facebook

    I would like to have my customers "share" my product with all of their friends. As an incentive, I would like to offer them some type of commission for any of their "friends" that end up buying a product from me.

    Is it possible to track what facebook friends buy from your site and see who referred them?

    I think you are talking viral marketing plus an affiliate system that track their sales?
    Well there are plenty on the market but what's your budget?

    I'm trying to keep the budget as low as possible, but I would be willing to put up some good money if i feel that it would provide a decent return for the business.

    What systems are out there currently that have this capability?

    You have to have some kind of membership system within your own web site. When some user clicks on share on facebook, you have to dynamically create the landing URL and append something like referID={USERS_ID}.

    Story after this, is basic cookie/ip/affiliate tracking.
