Approaches are provided for tracking and measuring the influence of social networking members on groups of friends to engage in electronic commerce. An approach includes receiving unique identifier information and activity information for a user that referred a social media link to one or more other users. The approach further includes generating a reference identifier for the referrer of the social media link to the one or more other users. The approach further includes embedding the generated reference identifier into the social media link. The generated reference identifier includes a concatenation of the unique identifier information, the activity information, and information pertaining to referrals of the social media link prior to the referrer to the one or more other users.
