Top Twenty Recommended Linkedin Groups for Business

In order to identify the most valuable top 20 groups on LinkedIn for business, we had to identify the areas of interest to businesses in this new social environment.

Numbers don’t matter as much as quality, though they help! The measurements used to rank these groups are:

Quality of content
Size of the Group
User Engagement
Value added Features

Categories included in our list are:

Social Media
LinkedIn
Management
PR & Communications
Leadership
Innovation
Sales
Marketing
Networking
Executive Issues
HR
General Business

Of course there are many other areas of interest to entrepreneurs, business owners and corporate representatives. These are the best groups for business, however the field is always changing, so we may come back and update this list occasionally as new players enter the field with great value! We would love your feedback and comments.

Here is our list in no particular order:

  1. Social Media Marketing
  2. Linked Strategies (disclaimer – I am a co-manager of this group)
  3. eMarketing Association Network
  4. Executive Suite
  5. On Startups – The Community For Entrepreneurs
  6. Consultants Network
  7. TopLinked.com (Open Networkers)
  8. Innovative Marketing, PR, Sales, Word-of-Mouth & Buzz Innovators
  9. ! Sales Best Practices

Remember, we are here to report the top groups related to business. We understand there are passionate feelings about some of these groups on the positive and negative side of the LinkedIn Etiquette status quo.
