If you have any kind of structured data being presented in the pages on a site then schema will help.
Simply throwing ones hands up and crying "oh it's just a sales page" is just giving away an opportunity to be that little bit better than the competition.
I'm really surprised at the number of people in this thread that just blithely disregard the benefit of basic optimisation. There's no shortage of threads on this and other forums about tubes dominating search results, however at the same time it appears consensus is that there is no point doing anything to improve search presence.

Obviously any seo-ing you do will benefit your site. Schema markup, seo friendly urls, alt tags on your images, etc etc etc.
Of course it helps. Does it give you much of a competitive advantage?
Well, if you're competing vs other paysites. Yes.
if you're competing vs all other sites: Yes, but you're still going to get crushed by other ranking factors that your competition absolutely dominates you with.
Conclusion: Should paysite owners focus on seo for their sites? It can't hurt, be sure to rank for your own brand name, your scene names and pornstar names + name of your site. With that, you're golden.
Trying to compete for other terms is like trying win a Nascar race while riding a scooter. Paysites are ill-equiped to do it.
