Changing permalinks to custom

    This blog has been up over 1 1/2 years. If I change the permalinks to custom in the settings will that have a bad affect on my blog? will I lose PR? will people who bookmarked the blog not be able to hit the pages once the permalinks are changed?

    Dude, Don't change the permalink of your blog otherwise to get the PR juice on your older pages, you will have to use permanent redirect plugin which will redirect your older links to the new ones.

    You can use that plugin without any issue.

    The problem is that the company I have my affiliate links through is an independent company not in CJ or any of the other affiliate networks. I have been trying to get paid for 3 weeks. I have gotten paid in the past but it seems to take longer and longer and I always have to go chasing it.

    My site has 130+ pages of products and I want to change the products over to a more reputable company that has their affiliate program through CJ. If I change the permalinks I will lose the link juice right?

    What if I slowly start replacing the pages with a new page or would I be better off just deleting the old companies products off the existing page and then replace with the new products?

    I believe the Platinum SEO Pack will automatically take care of 301 redirecting your old permalinks to the new ones if you change them.
