Change Your Permalinks Without Losing Traffic
Would you like to change your permalink structure from /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to /%postname%/? Are you worried that you will lose traffic when those pages are no longer indexed by the search engines?
Fear not!
Dean Lee has created a “301 redirect” plugin that tells the search engines that a page has moved permanently. When you use his plugin the SE’s update their indexes quickly, you retain PageRank and you still get your traffic through the engines.
Safely change your permalink structure using Dean’s plugin which is available at http://www.deanlee.cn/wordpress/permalinks-migration-plugin/.

What a cool find! I have changed my permalink structure several times…following along in the “Blog Classroom” and now I can get the links that were already indexed to work correctly again.
Keep finding these gems for us…for those of us that don’t even know how to describe the problem, much less have an easy soulution.
Thanks Debra
Thanks for this! I needed it right now as I’m changing the permalinks to better SEO ones.
