Browse to http://aur.archlinux.org
Search for your program’s page
Download the tar.gz file containing all required files, it will be linked as “Tarball”
Uncompress the tar.gz file, cd to the extracted directory and type in ‘makepkg -s’. This will also install any missing dependencies with pacman
When it is finished, type in ‘pacman -U <insert name of program and version>.pkg.tar.gz
Your program is installed!

I like to use Yaourt. It’s a wrapper for pacman. Along with other features, Yaourt will download and build packages from AUR automagically.
