I do NOT want to Index a page

I have a wordpress site where I sell a service.

Once I receive a PayPal Payment, they are sent to a success page where I need additional information from them.

I do not want this page indexed in Google so how do I go about doing that?

I have a required section where they have to give me their PayPal transaction ID but in summer when I am super busy it is a nightmare to manage so if it got indexed and they found it I could potentially give them my service with out them paying. Boo!

    As long as you can specify the meta tags on this certain page, you can block search engines with noindex meta tag.

    Ad the following to your robots.text file:

    Disallow: /page/

    *page* being the page/url you would like to NOT index.

    As fivebagger said - just modify the robots file under ftp.

    Create a robots.txt file and give the page url in front of Disallow.

    Disallow: /folder_name/page_url.html
