Norwegian genealogy links

Hands down, the best site is http://www.digitalarkivet.no. They do have English translations of most of their pages. They have FREE images of virtually all extant parish registers before 1900 as well as transcriptions of the 1801, 1865, 1875 (partial) and 1900 Norwegian census returns.

As just mentioned, the 1875 census transcription is not complete. Some slightly different parts of this census have also been transcribed here at the University of Tromsø; but, in general this work is far from complete:
