    Days ago I've came up with a list of low-competition keywords that the top 5 results are either wikipedia, about.com, ehow or similar sites.

    Thing is, the result after the top 5 are all non-SEO optimized sites. So my question is, should I tackle on these keywords/will I have a chance on outranking wiki/ehow?

    Thanks for all inputs.

    about.com is a pretty tough nut to crack, ehow.com doesn't have as much authority as about.com the thing is though, you can always target different long tail keywords, the big sites don't have the resources to target them all, and if you really work hard on one main keyword you can eventually outrank them.
