redirecionador

A javascript redirect that activates on mousemove and only on the first visit (optional);

Why

• The user must be able to see the countdown for it to make sense, and that doesn't happen with the new-tab middle-click frenzy that took over users' minds.
• Google doesn't like javascript redirects very much and Google doesn't move the mouse even when it executes javascript :)
• Users should be able to visit the site they were originally trying to, hence the "only on the first visit" thing

Usage

<div id="countdown-message"></div>
<script>
    redirecionador('http://gauge.com.br');
</script>
