Any more help would be appreciated.

I would create a YouTube page for the videos and upload them there, then embed them on the site with a vb:IF conditional, making them appear only when logged in. But again, if they are YT embeds they won't have anything near the 1.2 megabyte load on you so if they are embedded they are okay to leave for guest visitors too. It becomes a personal preference for you and the rest of your team at that point.

I see odd references to 3rd party sites (p.righub.com?!). I'm hoping all of these are ad servers, of which I'm working with my other admins to only use the ones bringing in cash (which are probably yahoo, google and lijit).

Yes each one should be investigated and if it's not a confirmed income producer it should be removed IMO. If you can't determine what the hell it is, same thing.

So I was researching this and correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that some ad servers use response 302 to serve ads. Is there anything that can be done w/r/t these besides minimizing our use of 3rd party advertisers?

302 is a redirect notice, not really a "error" per se. It means the URL represents a temporary condition of redirect and the advertiser should make these permanent instead of temporary. It slows down your site to have alot of these since the browser looks for a alternative URL to fetch from. Also, it is unclear to me if these 302 objects actually ever load on a page. Because if the URL can't be resolved, it won't.

I have seen many, many heavily monetized sites and the 302 notice is very rare to see on them. Especially not alot of them.
