This is a great, simple method to keep that test site out of the SERP's. Here is another that I used that actually takes the site off the public Internet entirely (though as you mentioned you were doing work for clients, I can understand how this method is ideal for many as well): http://blog.nexcess.net/2011/03/18/using-the-hosts-file-test-your-magento-site/ Cheers!
