I was wondering how I can link my two websites together. For example, I have supercoachtips.wordpress.com which I then upgraded to wordpress.org and got supercoachcentral.com. And what I need to do is redirect all visitors from the wordpress.com blog to the new wordpress.org blog. How can I do this?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
The redirect is an upgrade at WordPress.com - Look in the "Upgrade" section where why you should choose WordPress.COM - I think it is Domain Mapping - but a special way of doing things - see the top link below -
WordPress.com also has an active Forum that can help you. They should have several threads on how to do things so nothing gets messed up - Make sure you have all the information required for the change - some changes require the DNS server info - but I can't remember what is required for you.

This is done regular like so the process should go smoothly once you start down the right set of menus.
good luck

I that the only way to do it. Is there any way to do that without paying each year?
No - Renew each year for Domain Mapping - you are paying them to do something special and keep the redirect going - they have to keep a special record -at $10.00 each year rather reasonable
You could have a static Page at Home for your old site that say "I Done Moved - Click here for my new site" -
Or you could host your new domain at WordPress.com - still subject to their standard service rules and "only 90" Themes to choose from - but someone else upgrades the software and those pesky details.

How do you make a static page, I've had a mental blank...
Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Front page displays
Make a page with your "Moved Message" and set that page as the Front Page Display -
