What is consider best practice today for blocking admins from potentially getting indexed
Agreed with the above two answers. Use an obscure url and use meta tags to noindex/nofollow the pages. I wouldn't worry too much about people finding your admin pages. You should already have security measures in place that prevent people from hacking your site or "guessing" your admin credentials. If you don't have these types of measures in place then I would recommend concentrating on these. Some ideas of things to look at: Ensure pages do not allow SQL injection attacks Use complex usernames and passwords Stop people from entering the wrong username and password more than x times within y minutes (e.g. lock out the account either permanently or for a temporary time restriction) If someone tries to enter a username and password within a given period of time, prompt them with a captcha check to ensure no bots are trying to access the site Ensure passwords are changed regularly Set up an alerting system should incorrect credentials be entered Plus there are LOADS more things you should do
