I'm not suggesting that you need to have a statement, although you could. There are other ways to plant the seeds there.

It depends what style of blog you have. But those who are open about selling memberships have a lot of power here. If you run a regular blog and occasionally have sponsor content, and you're open about that as an income to keep the blog going, you could get away with a statement about why paying for it is better.

If you run a blog just to present porn to surfers, you could just stick an anti-piracy banner up. But it would possibly be more effective to just mention it occasionally in posts too. I run several blogs with a character or two presenting the content, and I have explained in posts occasionally why I pay for a membership to that site.

For instance, I could occasionally mention how crap the quality is of tube videos. Maybe relay a short experience of someone downloading something illegally and ending up with a trojan. For a specific site I could say that nothing beats having access to all those hundreds of videos on the site.

One of the biggest things I have found in blogging is that affiliates rarely sell the site, they sell the scene - if they bother to actually sell it at all.

People are not using the ammunition they have. If an adult site has over 600 videos, tell the potential buyer that in as many posts as you can. If they have exclusive models, mention them. If they do something that you won't find anywhere else, talk about that too.

People generally only pay attention to what the guys in the video are doing - which is so predictable sometimes it's almost not worth doing. But there is a lot of opportunity to point out the reasons to be a member of the site without shoving it down the readers throat.

I don't want to seem condescending, but I'll do an example here, from a fictitious scene, just to show how I think affiliates should be promoting...

"***** is back again on the ***** site, and after seeing him in his last video where he sucked cock for the first time I knew the dude would return for more. I was totally addicted to that scene for a bout a week, even watching it on my phone on a break at work and jerking a load out to it in the restroom.

Warning - don't forget the volume button!

I think a lot of you are already members of the site, but if you've never checked it out before, that's what they do there - they convince straight guys that cock isn't that bad after all, and so many of them really get into it once they've tried it.

So I have to say first of all that ****** actually reminds me a little of ******** too. I remember when he started out in a solo jerk off video and then went on to do a whole lot more with other performers. He's now appeared in twenty hardcore videos since then, so I think it's fair to say he's converted to cock!

Now ****** is back, what's he willing to try? Well, I guess it depends how much he's getting paid, but I don't think it's entirely about the money. The guy is hard as steel all the way through as he gets fucked for the first time!

I've watched a lot of their guys being broken in over the last few months, going back through the archives to see how they started out, and although all of them really get into it, you can see that ****** is totally getting off on having his ass slammed by another dude. ****** does a great job of it too, but then who else could they have chosen to break in a new guy? This hunk has slammed over fifty noobs on the site (jealous!) and pretty much converted them all with his big dick.

****** isn't any different in that regard. After sucking ***** and taking a hard butt fuck the dude shoots a massive load all over himself. ****** loved tapping that virgin ass too judging by the jizz he dumps over his buddy.

Out of the hundreds of videos there this one has to be a new fave for me. That says a lot too, because they have over 600 shoots now. I can't jerk off to all of them, especially with a new one added every week - but I can try! "

And yes, it definitely beats 30 second tube clips with grainy action. I don't care if you think you can shoot a load to a tube scene, you're not getting what I'm getting!
That's just a quick example of how I think a scene should be presented. It has some personality to it, I mention the number of videos, I mention the mobile streaming, I mention the previous action from the guy, I give reasons as to why the site is worth the money, instead of just saying "this guy sucks that guy, that guy fucks this guy, they both shoot their loads, the end. Now please buy a membership!"

There are two uses for text. First of all you need it for SEO purposes. Secondly there are actually guys who read it. Those who read it already have an interest in the content - you've won half the sales battle, they are your priority. If you imagine that your blog is a shop, the images are the window dressing. You could have someone walk past and think something looks nice, but they're just interested in how pretty it is. The ones who walk in and investigate are further along in their decision to buy. The people reading your text are more willing and open to the idea of buying than those who are just browsing. They are the people you are selling to, and that is why the text has to offer the suggestive triggers and information.

While tubes and piracy are still a problem, affiliates are not exactly thinking logically in a lot of cases either. It's just my opinion, but I can guarantee that those who are successful in affiliate sales actually sell the sites and not just the scene.
