You should move an adsense tower or two into the posting area right next to the videos instead of the bottom of the page.
Just a thought

Hi Derek,
I agree the leaderborard adspot at the bottom of the page is probably kinda useless. :\
I have been thinking of adding a menu column to right side of the individual pages, same as main and archive pages, but I have tried real hard to discreetly incorporate my adpsots but place them so I will still see a decent CTR. (dont know if I have done that yet as not enough traffic or time has passed)
I made this clean layout as I am hoping it will result in more people digging it etc and adding the RSS feeds to their readers whilst I am new and trying to get a good traffic flow established mostly.
If I end up with some nice top10 spots about war vids or the battle of midway etc for this post as an example... I anticipate probably placing extra targetted affiliate program ads, rather than adsense to maximise revenue.
Thanks for your tip and comment. ;)
