I believe that this must be tracked by the 'other' site. You'll probably end up adding a referal code to your links so the 'other' site knows where the user originated from. After that, it's up to the 'other' site to keep an eye on them and what purchases they may make.

There are ready made affiliate scripts/programmes you can use for this but the other site(s) would need to implement it and you'd then get notification. If they are offering a banner affiliate scheme then they'd already have this in place.
