    Not really sure what to do with it... I'd also like some suggestions on the video pages before I go and change all of them.

    When I arrived at your home page I didn't see any ads until I scrolled down. Try placing at least one ad block 'above the fold' to give casual visitors a chance of seeing them.

    In my experience placing adsense top/center and upper left hand corner works very well. If you're going to place any beneath the fold, put them between your posts.

    Why would somebody NOT want to place their URL when looking for advice on ad unit placement?

    Is it better to provide a snapshot of the page?

    I think he meant "Why didn't you post your URL here?" because the OP forgot to add his/her url.

    Well, if you are willing, you might want to provide some revenue stats to see how you can improve from what you are currently doing.

    Sorry for the double post but, which color should I use above the video? The white one here, or the blue one here. And I had the ad blend in on the left side, please give me your thoughts.

    Your ads are nearly invisible. Try switching the Top 5 list with the link unit, but instead of a link unit, use one of the square ad units. I'd also think about putting the video ad under the video. It's a bit intrusive and might be ignored because of that. Put it under, and people will notice it when they use the video player buttons, but it's not annoyingly blocking things.

    Mm, I'll probably put the links under then, it'd probably fit a lot better. Should I make them white and blend in out blue and stand out?

    Personally, I think blue links will attract a better response!
