Well...well well..
you are missing something dude..
1) The competition you've mentioned is significant but still easily manageable. There is some progblem with your optimization of the site.

2)Also i dont' think you'd need to buy a new domain and optimize it for your keywords using so called unethical techniques.

3) You're right in saying that people on the top are masters in manupulating google. Google always needs to catch up with them as they find some or other way to manupulate its results.

4)Finally mind it that the SEO tips, ethics and so called spammy things discussed here is not the all about SEO.The people out there on the top knows more than that. You're missing out few things. Forget about what you know about SEO , study your competitiors and other site on other competitive keywords, you'll find the clue to be at the top from them only.
