I have made a small module for Joomla! that helps me to show module text only of some specific pages. This module shows the text only, if the conditions they are set for the module all true. This gives you the ability to show a module on a site when you haven't a menu item for that page. But keep in mind that you have to set up the module to be shown on any page, if not then Joomla doesn't render the module at all.
e.g.
option = com_content
view = article
id = 4711:an-article-without-a-menu-entry

1) A easier way
Author: JoomIT
Just create a menu entry in a hidden menu, e.g. change the module position to a non-existing one or hide the menu module.
2) but not for all cirumstances
Author: Robert
as I tweeted some components haven't the ability to make for any view/layout/... combination a menu item + using id in (2,3,6) makes live easier
3) Advanced Module Manager

I use the Advanced Module Manager therefore. It even has a php-block where you can check the vars.
