There are a few potential factors:
1. They aren't usually affiliates. Most of them are not giving out 1-3 backlinks to the content owner.
2. They are giving out full scenes instead of promo clips 100,000 other affiliates have.
3. They paid for massive backlinks and do very well on the popularity contest part of the G algorithm.
4. They aren't embedding the content from another site they are hosting it themselves.
5. Because of the full length clips they have a massive time on site metric.
6. They are usually heavily SEO with custom software.
7. Is being flagged as a legitimate content provider by Google rather than an affiliate.
The regular affiliate on the other hand:
1. Is using sponsor clips which 100,000 other webmasters have up.
2. Often is embedding content from the same source as thousands of others.
3. Has all sorts of backlinks to the content owner which are seen as "affiliate links".
4. Does not have massive link popularity and paid backlinks.
5. Has lower time on site due to shorter clips.
6. Is usually using cookie cutter software along with maybe a custom template but is limited in SEO potential by it.
7. Is being flagged as a "porn affiliate" by Google's classification mechanism.
Just my opinion. It's worth what you paid for it.
