(ii) Create paid advertisements that redirect to Nature's Lab website through your Affiliate Link for the purpose of intercepting organic traffic or customers who were already intending to purchase from Nature's Lab;
(iii) Use retargeting, remarketing, or cookie-based advertising to target users who have previously visited Nature's Lab website;

CLARIFICATION: You MAY use paid advertising to promote Nature's Lab products on NON-BRANDED terms (e.g., "best multivitamin for energy," "men's prostate supplements") provided you are creating genuine marketing content and NOT simply intercepting customers already searching for Nature's Lab specifically.
