Top 25 Upcoming Small Business Blogs to follow

for 2012

This list here is the ultimate list of the Top 25 Upcoming Small Business Blogs which you

should be following in 2012. The reason we call this the ultimate list is because we do not rely

on some meaningless metrics or numbers to come up with this list. We all know these metrics

and numbers can be manipulated. We know about bloggers with 20K+ followers who have junk

posts and also of Technorati Top 100 blogs which are just filled with affiliate links.

At Apptivo, we use the Human Metrics System which bases blogs on more than 15 criterias

which a real human would care about. Such areas include the originality of the content, value of

the content to target audience, organic viral potential of the content, and much more.

So we decided to make this list the way you would really measure a blog – by reading the blog

posts and by engaging with the bloggers and the small business community to get their

recommendations. Based on this we came up with a list of rising stars, the blogs which have

been doing great and we predict will do extraordinarily well in 2012.
