Typically rods are placed halfway between the top of the window frame and bottom of the crown molding. If the distance between the two is much further than typical (say you have incredibly high ceilings, for example) then it is best to hang rods 5-8 inches about top of window frame. It gives windows a larger more grand look. Hope this helps! Happy decorating!!
