It may be a silly question but I can't seem to find the answer. Do search engines see/read the page with the redirect or the target page? If anyone could help it would be most appreciated.
Thanks

It looks like it uses the drupal_goto function which by the looks of the api.drupal.org does a 302 redirect by default (its not set in this module), which is what drupal does for all normal pages, so i'd say the search engine would see the page your redirected to.

If you use divert, the search engine does not "see" the node with the redirect. With the other options it has the opportunity to, I'm unsure of Google's policy as far as meta redirect tags or framesets.
