"Forwarding" a URL address

highdef

Hi
I have a basic website on googlepages.com. However, the site does not get listed in Google, as in if I put the name of the website into the google search bar, nothing comes up. I have just registered a domain name using "godaddy.com" as I read that it's good and cheap. What I want to happen now is that when people search for the new domain I have created, it'll come up in the search results. However, when they click on it, I would like it to go to my googlepages.com site - it means I would have free hosting and the domain name I want. From what I read, this is possible but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do this!!!
Can anyone help please?

you can setup a redirect, but that wouldn't get your domain spidered by the SE.

OK, two questions: How do I set up a re-direct?
And secondly, how do I get it spidered by a search engine???

I'm such a newbie......sorry!!!

Go Daddy should allow you to forward your domain to your googlepages subdomain in the control panel. It is possible then to submit your site to the major search engines but other pages on the site wont be indexed as there not linked to the domain (just google pages sub domain)
