FP search engine question

How do you redirect from one URL to another URL? I ask because search
engine spiders will use copy on the page to help index and rank the page.
For example, clicking on "saturn.com" sends you to
"saturn.com/saturn/SaturnIndex.jsp". Using IE to look at the source for
"SaturnIndex.jsp" - I can't find any copy on that page.
However, using Google's cache of "saturn.com" and clicking on "cached text
only" reveals copy that's useful for search spiders.
Is this a way for web designers to use framed pages etc., and still have
their site efficiently indexed by search engines?
Thanks, Mark Flynn

No. Redirection like that is a good way to get into trouble with search
engines.

There is just enough copy on the Saturn page, in just the right places, to
get it indexed (<title>, <h1>, etc.).

For framed pages (think long and hard before using frames), you have a
golden opportunity to stuff the frameset page with content in the <noframes>
tags.
