That's right on the money (in my humble opinion). The bulk of my time in preparing a blog post is spent sorting through galleries and thumbnails so that I can find the sexiest chicks/trannies/gay dudes. If your prerogative is to sell something, then you want to display the most attractive models, and if you're displaying the most attractive models then you'll only have nice things to say about them.
There are two ways you could use disparaging or critical commentary to your sales advantage (other than what has been mentioned thus far)... these are just off the top of my head.
1) If you have a review format then being critical will help to establish you as some sort of an authority. If someone or some site is ugly or sub-par, and you "tell it how it is", then your readers will be more inclined to follow your word when you recommend a site for them to sign up to. It's about projecting yourself as impartial and thereby soliciting the trust of your readers. ***Edit: I see that Cory and Pornwolf mentioned this as well.***
2) There is also the contrast principle. We formulate judgments through comparisons, and so if you take a substandard model (ugly chick) and compare her with a beautiful model (hot chick), the beautiful model will be more appeling to the nth degree by virtue of the comparison. This sort of ties into the previous use (with the review formats), but certainly is distinct enough to stand on it's own. So, for example, if you're trying to promote one website or model, try and prop it up next to something that will be perceived as much less attractive.
Blog writing is fun
