1. 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.

Top 25 list, but our Editor had a gun to our head and we had to pick just 25. So here goes the list:
