This was the so-called mini-sized offered by Google. WOW it was to big. I decided to place the video in the footer section and centeed. Most of my hits are sent to a specific post based on search phrases, which lands someone on a specific post page not the site/blog front page. In that case I have a left/right/header ad and the video at the base. All bases covered right as Spring Training starts. DB I placed the video unit under my header and above the first post.

When I first heard about it I thought that it would be small, something that could easily fit into a sidebar, like the vod pod you have. The current size of adsense video units really limits placement and people may get tired really fast of seeing 400+ pixels of youtube videos thrown up on every page.
