I would appreciate any advice any of you can give on this topic.

I proposed a group of keywords to my boss to use(fictional example):

(free classifieds, new computers, used, etc etc)

She says placing used the way it is has no meaning, and we would be getting customers looking for anything used instead of what we are selling. My argument is, so what. At least you will still get the person who types in used computers, right? Or no? Wouldn't the SE hit off the 'computers', and the 'used' even though their seperate keyword phrases. Or would I have to have 'used computers' there instead of just 'used' for the SE to pick up on it?

This is actually for Direct Hit which only allows 60 characters in your keywords on their submission page. So trying to keep it short is important! Of course I also want to see how this applies in all keyword cases. Thanks to anyone who can help.
