keyword research confusion: competing with article directories

    I have been doing a lot of keyword research trying to find a low competition keyword for my niche which happens to be a high competition niche.

    When doing the research, I looked at the top 10 sites on google and some were article directories, yahoo answers, and some others. I have heard that that is good because those are easy to beat out because they are weak sites, and i have heard that they also have a ton of backlinks to its hard to beat out.

    So basically should i pick that keyword phrase and have an easy time beating the "weak" sites, or keep looking for more keywords because those sites are hard to beat?

    Thank you for your time

    use Google ad words for good keyword research and always focus on less competition.

    You say them "weak sites" and on the other hand you say "those sites are hard to beat" :) Dear! no matter how much weak and strong your competitors are, just keep one thing in your mind that always target such keywords that have low competition and high search volume.
