to be brutally honest you are going to have a tough time with this type of affiliate program.
you really need to have specific affiliate links for your affiliates.
referral programs like this have a really tough time succeeding because no one bothers putting who referred them.
there are a lot of shopping carts that have built in affiliate tracking features that you could use at a very low cost.
for example one of my websites i run my affiliate program directly through my shopping cart and i use ultracart for the shopping cart. but there are lots of options out there. i pay about 55-60 a month for the shopping cart but for all the features it provides i think it's worth it, especially to get additional sales and traffic from affiliates and keep them happy with accurate reports and tracking
