Adsense ADS placement and distance to text

Hi, a quick question:

I normally use a style to wrap text around the ADS like this:

<div style="float: left;">
ADSENSE CODE HERE
</div>

Code (markup):

I would like to add some vertical and horizontal space between the ADS and the text of the page.

What would the correct syntax be ?

 

This seems to work for me.. (this puts the 20 px padding on all sides)

<div style="float: left; padding: 20px;">

 

Otherwise something like this can specify which side and amt of margin.

<div style="float: right; margin-left: 20px;">

I use it differently on my site (stoppedsnoring.com) within the paragraphs. I think it looks ok. Maybe you're trying to go for something different though?

 

That's Awesome. Thank you all !!!
