  What are the specific tasks to do or actions to accomplish in the process of optimizing a dynamic/postnuke website? What part of the code or elements of the site should i pay attention to beside shortening the urls?
  
  Thanks

  concentration of content helps.. a page with links to content.. aka: a sitemap .. all of a site's content being accessible from a single page helps considerably.

  Add to that:
  * keywords relevant to each unique page
  * page title relevant to each page of content
  * avoid urls hidden in flash or javascript that search engines will often ignore
  * descriptive links (i.e links to internal and external pages ideally include page title of linked page)
  
  I use Pagesetter extensively and the templating engine has allowed me to setup custom plugins to insert publication title in page title and keywords in meta-keywords. I have added fields to each publication type for keywords. I just have to train the content writers to fill keywords in ... and try not to be lazy myself.
  
  My technique for creating a sitemap is to use dynamod and create a structured list - some of this is generated by calls to content listing plugins provided by some modules or my own custom plugins.

  You don't need Pagesetter to implement these things. You could modify the news module to provide similar functionality. This will be easier in a future version of postnuke when the News module is implemented as a templated module ... although I guess you could write a theme plugin to extract the title from a News module article and place it in the page title.
  
  For the first two items I mentioned above (keywords and title), I use Pagesetter. The last two items (urls and descriptive links) are general principles that you should apply to your site.
  
  Pagesetter is a good replacement for the basic news module. Pagesetter actually allows import of postnuke news items - so this is a good transitition path as it allows you to keep all your old news articles.

  You might want to get rid of PN-title. I understand this has been removed in .76.
