Need Advice HTTP Redirect Pointing From Website To Blog

I have a 301 permanent redirect pointing from a few of my pages on my website to my blog. My question is when Google crawls my website and the pages that are redirected to my blog do they still index the content on that webpage that is redirected as well as the content on the blog? If they dont I can transfer that content to my blog.

Anyone know how this works? Any advice would be appreciated!

Any page with a 301 header will be entirely ignored, as this is usually used to inform a "change of address" for a non-existent page.

(elaborating a bit by request via PM... I don't yet have the ability to send PM's so I'm replying here)

As long as the 301 code is sent in the header, search engines will not read the page.

It is saying "this page no longer exists here, it has been moved to this new spot". Over time, all search engine indexes will replace the old URL with the new one.

You should move the content from the old page and place it on the new page that you are redirecting to.
