To compete with bigger sites I take my competitors weaknesses and make those my strengths.

Actually, if I'm researching a new niche and I go visit the current top dogs in that niche and I can't immediately - and I mean *instantly* - see how I can do it better, then I abandon it on the spot. There are more than enough opportunities out there, life's too short, and I have already spent too much of it butting my head against walls.
