block certain pages

is there a way to stop certain pages being indexed by search engines

 

Yes. Use robots.txt and the noindex tag.

as there is about 300 pages i do not want indexing

caution robot.txt are a plain txt anyone read this !

 

And so what ? robots.txt isn't private, is there anything to be scarred of ?

if you have a time please look your server logs and look how many times no robots request your robot.txt

if no like engine index this only no make a link , but google toolbar sent all pages visited from you to google !
if is a dir use .htaccess
