What is a spam-reduction methodology?
To reduce the chances for a “spam” generation the Reference/Affiliate_ID is needed for an affiliate/sale registration. The Reference_ID is the ID of a person (current affiliate) that references the new affiliate to the affiliate program. If a person uses “spam” techniques to recruit new affiliates or increase sales, the new affiliates and the customers will not register the ID of this person if they consider this person as a “spam” promoter. In this case, the spam promoter will not be rewarded. This will restrain affiliates from using spam techniques.
