Redirecting visitors with Javascript can be achieved by one of the methods given below.

location.href Method

Including the following script will immediately redirect visitors to the URL entered.

<script type="text/javascript">
     location.href='http://www.bloggingdeveloper.com';
</script> 

location.replace Method

Including the following script will immediately redirect visitors to the URL entered.

<script type="text/javascript">
     location.replace('http://www.bloggingdeveloper.com/');
</script>

location.replace creates a new history entry on the visitor's browser meaning that if they hit the back button, they can get in a 'redirection loop' which is usually undesirable and may have unwanted side effects.
