Are top 10 lists dead?

i used to see them everywhere. Top 10 mansions you'll never afford. Top 10 ways guys make small talk that means they like you, etc

Does this not convert to traffic for adsense? Did PPC get on to it and kill it or people just stop advertising and writing like this?

I dont see it nearly as much as I used to. And people dont stop if its making money. Just curious. Thanks my dudes!

personally, I hate top 10 article
because most of them have poor quality

I've seen a small and never-heard company in China in my niche wrote a TOP 10 List article, content full of Chinglish.

They put themselves as the No.4 among the Top 10, while the rest 9 of them are all international giants and world's leading companies.

Actually, this is a total hilarious fraud and scam, or unethical business conduct only to deceive visitor just like a fool.

I am ranking a blog for a top 10. One software company emailed me want to give me free life time pro account for putting them in top 10 on my blog and a backlink to their site. Dr 82 but they don't know seo to rank for top 10 keyword, my blog is dr 19.
True story!!

Most of the times I see companies that do "Top 10 Companies in their industry" and they place themselves at top 2-3.
