Q: What is the effect on ranking and finding of “redirect” pages?

A: A temporary redirect will not pass on its PageRank score to the redirected page. A “sneaky” redirect, i.e. a redirect done for the purpose of directing Google users to different content than what is fed to Googlebot, will probably get your site penalized or banned by Google.
