Instead of a page with content to try and head off the robots, you could
try sending the 410 "Gone" HTTP Status Code:
410 Gone
The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no
forwarding address is known. This condition is expected to be considered
permanent. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD delete
references to the Request-URI after user approval. If the server does
not know, or has no facility to determine, whether or not the condition
is permanent, the status code 404 (Not Found) SHOULD be used instead.
This response is cacheable unless indicated otherwise.
The 410 response is primarily intended to assist the task of web
maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is
intentionally unavailable and that the server owners desire that remote
links to that resource be removed. Such an event is common for
limited-time, promotional services and for resources belonging to
individuals no longer working at the server's site. It is not necessary
to mark all permanently unavailable resources as "gone" or to keep the
mark for any length of time -- that is left to the discretion of the
server owner.
