I was wondering, if you have side accounts, is it against the rules to put a banner on your side accounts user look up advertising your main accounts shop?

I would love to answer your question, but I have no idea!
I am guessing no, I didn't find anything immediately when searching the NT Editorial, and you aren't actually making any NP on the side account, so it sounds good to me, but, in the eternal words of LeVar Burton - "But you don't have to take my word for it"
Might be a good NT Editorial question to ask if nobody else can find something related already.

technically, if your side happnened to be main market, they did address it in the editorial that it was no longer allowed to use side accounts to advertise the main

OOh, I was looking and I didn't see that. Not that I don't believe you, but do you have the reference handy?

i think its different things to advertise your main shop on your side acc on the marketplace or just have a banner or something up on your side lookup. But you're right, they adressed that in an editorial (and i found it ;) see below).
Best would be to ask this question and see what they answer..
and what about petpages or galleries then?

Do you think having multiple accounts in the marketplace linking to your main shop is cheating?[/b] ~from the boards
Answer:
We've discussed this amongst ourselves and come to the conclusion that, while clever, it's too great a stretch of the rules. Technically, you are using multiple accounts to give yourself an advantage and earn more Neopoints. While we are not going to retroactively freeze or punish anyone, since it had not been made clear prior to this, we would like to request that anyone doing this please remove any type of advertisements from their side account shops. We know that a few folks who have done this will lose quite an investment, but we have to be fair. Hopefully the time you had them up will cover some of the loss.

and something somehow related:
[quote=Editorial][b]Question:
Is paying another main shop to keep up your banner freezable? [...][/b]
Answer:
[...] paying others to display your shop ad in their shop is paying for a service. If they freely put it up, that's perfectly fine, but no NP or items should be exchanged [...]
