How To Create A 301 Redirect Map

John, i am not familiar with the 301 redirect. I have a url that is forwarded to another one of my websites. That url [a common phrase] never shows up in a google or bing search. I was told by godaddy that it never will, because it is a forwarded domain name. Would this 301 get it found by search engines, or would that not work since it never has had any content, just forwarded. Thanks.
