A method and system is provided for facilitating affiliate link generation using a web browser application. A publisher enables the system by identifying a webpage on an affiliate web site. The system performs an initial assessment of the page to extract webpage information, which is compared to information stored in a database. If the extracted information matches stored information, a record of the webpage is displayed and an affiliate link is dynamically generated for immediate use. If the extracted information does not match stored information, a new record of the webpage is created. If the webpage contains product-specific data, a product-specific record is stored. If the webpage does not contain product-specific data, a non-product record is stored. An affiliate link is then dynamically created. The new record of the product and dynamically created affiliate link is added to the database for immediate use.

An information communication system transmits an advertisement to a first terminal device used by a first user based on transmission of a message from the first terminal device to a second terminal device used by a second user. The information communication system causes the first terminal device to display an operation part operable to transmit the advertisement to the second terminal device. The information communication system transmits the advertisement to the second terminal device in response to operation of the displayed operation part by the first user. The information communication system executes processing of giving a reward to the first user based on recognition that the second user takes an action corresponding to a successful result of the advertisement after the second user selects the advertisement.
