if the top 5 website for my keyword are wiki, youtube, ezine and other like sites will it still be easier to rank my site on the top2 spot?

    I would normally say yes, but I would have to see the keyword to be sure.

    If you have ezinearticles on the page, it could be an indicator of an easy to rank keyword. The reason is, Ezinearticles has been slapped quite a few times and when that happens, Google mostly stops showing their pages for competitive results in favor of stronger online brands.

    Wiki and Youtube on the page will tell you nothing about the level of competition.

    If you want top 2 spot, you have to focus on the first two results only. What's the domain authority, what's the page authority, can you create something better? Does google favor images, videos, products or press releases for the top spots?

    If Google shows, top2-3 results from Youtube, you have a better chance ranking a Youtube video than your own site, so follow the path of minimal resistance.

    I would say with the right content and optimization you could rank your page higher. If the keyword is very competitive you would have to put in a lot more work though.

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
