It's really good to speak this. I made my archive links with the top keyword i aimed. I used it at 2 vb forums. If you want to rank higher in one word just make is your archive link /keyword/ For example i made it webmaster i rank number 1 on that term. At another url i made it keyword2 i am at rank 4 at very compettiting keyword within 1 year. This no one speaks yes i tested and it works I learnt it very hard way.
you need to set
1) I choose rewrite and redirect with 301
2) custom add your keyword*
3) revert archives show pages order option thicked.

so you'll have archive links under sitename.com/keyword/
It's the main keyword you targetting just 1 word what you seoing for it. This is my technique some other techniques maybe used or you choose not to use archive links at all. I am number 1 at "webmaster" search in my country for over 2 years with this technique. There is of cource other efforts done. But this i observed for real pushing factor.
