Most of it is in place, so let's see what can be improved before the linking commences.

I'm going to assume this is a wedding/bridal site (I only speak engrish :P)

The only thing I can recommend off the bat is just improving the logo a bit.. You need more spacing between the letters, it's all scrunched up and a little overwhelming. Then right align the pink slogan to the right of the logo.

Looks good!

Some of your URLs have a lot of hyphens in a row, you might like to collapse those to just one hyphen. I'd also get rid of exclamation marks, question marks, and other special characters from URLs. Some are really full of crap:

http://www.bryllupiutlandet.no/bryll...p/35/0.html#59

Messy!

Something else you might like to consider would be stopword removal from your URLs (e.g. i, og, af, and, han, hun, til etc). This will improve your keyword density; it's only a small thing, though.

Get rid of the font tags in your source! css is there for a reason - sending all those tags with every page is going to really hurt your bandwidth bill and the client rendering time.

You might also like to start including title= attributes in your more important <a> tags.

You're not using the h1-h7 predefined headings; look these up! They really help a page's ranking if used correctly.

Good use of image replacement on the header nav.

Can you ditch the link to codegravity.com from your footer?

The forum homepage link when browsing posts could be made a bit more obvious, too!

Your wedding articles are great places to put links in to other parts of your site. Failing that, you might consider renting them out to linkxl.

What's the moro bit about? Allowing users to upload videos would definitely help them feel involved

Ditch all the inline javascript, now. We only need to download this data once, in an external script file!

Also, you still have some pages that are using dynamic parameters in their URLs:
Quote:
/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&amp;task=register s
Ditch them, with some rewriting.

You might also like to change some of the priorities in your sitemap, to pick up things like forum summary pages a bit more frequently - whatever you think is logical!

Thanks for such detailed comments Delivos! Much appreciated!
For many years, in language, the "foreign" characters in the Norwegian alphabet æ ø å translate to: æ =>ae å=>aa ø=>oe
I've been doing some searching on google and it seems that google doesn't use this same system. Any ideas on how it would be best to rewrite them?
Thanks.

That's odd, you'd expect Google would know about such common mappings!

There are XML entity definitions for letters outside of the English 26, but if anything I'd guess that they'd make the situation worth - might be worth a try though!
