You can use robots meta great guide here - http://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt

or if you wanted to be a bit different you can hide content behind a login screen or flash etc. things robots cant get through, I'd recommend the robots though

Hope that helps.

Robots.txt exclusion is definitely the easiest way to go. The URLs within the site might still be "indexed", but they will not be crawled and if they ever showed up in a search, they would look like something like this: http://i.imgur.com/xU6mDYA.png
