#1 Most Connected in the Middle East & Australia    ★★
#2 Most Connected SAP professionals World Wide
#22 Most Connected Globally

Owner of SAP NetWork Global Group (+80K Members)

(Last Updated: 2012 - APR) 

NOTE:

★★ I know for a fact that the following members also have 30K direct connections, if I or any of them show up #2,3 or 4 it only means that we may have a difference of 1 or more connections at the time the search is done, or some of us may have exactly the same number of connections but we can not all be displayed as #1 at the same time:

• Hesham Zreik
• Justino Mora
• Sehrish Hafiz
• Stan Relihan

As a matter of fact  Stan and  Hesham  have made it to the top before me (by reaching the limit of 30,000 connections) and I have caught up with them in 2012-APR, so I guess we are all #1 J

@ Stan, 
Thanks for being one of my best LinkedIn mentors, if it wasnt for leaders like you, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with you.

@  Hesham, 
I have been looking forward to catching up with you for a long time, thanks for setting up an example for me to be #1 in the Middle East.

Sorting by Connections through Advanced Search is a very useful feature that can be utilized in LinkedIn to get a list of the top 10-100 most connected people in a particular country, region, group of countries, industry, groups, professions, …etc.

Here are some examples of the top most connected members in Saudi Arabia / Egypt / the Middle East / Australia / the SAP industry in the Middle East & worldwide, where I am listed as:

• #1 Most Connected in Saudi Arabia (along with Egypt and other countries in the middle east like, UAE, Palestine, Turkey, Qatar, Bahrain, Lebanon, Kuwait, Jordan, Oman, Iraq, Iran, Yemen)
• #3 Most Connected in Australia (or in Australia & Saudi Arabia, had I changed my location back to Australia)
• #4 Most Connected in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, Palestine, Turkey, Qatar, Bahrain, Lebanon, Kuwait, Jordan, Oman, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Israel)
• #1 Most Connected SAP professional in the Middle East (where SAP is shown in the Title)
• #3 Most Connected SAP professionals World Wide 

last updated 2010-06

Such searches can make it easier to target getting in touch with or connecting with the Top Most Connected people in a particular country or industry. You can filter further your lists by selecting further selection criteria.

Below for example are some of my lists I personally use to connect with what I would call the (Safe To Invite) lists which are similar to the searches above but with the filter of restricting the search for members who belong to at least one of the largest LION groups “TopLinked.com (Open Networkers), OpenNetworker.com, LION500.com (Open Networkers)” Such members often accept all invitations or at least welcome invitations (as in may archive an invitation request but should never mark a connection as “I Don’t Know” which can work against you and restrict you to not being able to invite members unless if you enter their email addresses):

Most Connected TopLinked / LIONs (LinkedIn Open Networkers):

• in Saudi Arabia
• in Egypt
• in Saudi Arabia & Egypt
• in Australia 
• in Australia & Saudi Arabia
• in the Middle East
• SAP Professionals in Middle East
• SAP Professionals WorldWide

Important Tips to rapidly expand your network:

• Join the TopLinked (Open Networkers) group along with OpenNetworker.com, LION500.com (Open Networkers), the first 3 groups listed when you search for LION at Groups
• Keep an eye for the TopLinked Invite Me List that gets sent every Tuesday night
• Import that list to your LinkedIn connections
• Follow the steps to send them all invitations at once (This will allow you send approximately 2,000 invitations at once. 1,500 of them are likely to accept them within a week or so)
• You can also add yourself to that list when you subscribe for a premium membership through OpenNetworker for $9.95/month or $49.95/year
