Who gave you the 1-page-a-day strategy? That's wacked. The bigger the site the better -- make as many pages as you can as soon as you can, and try to have them all link to each other so when a bot comes in it gets everything. And whatever you do, …
We had a problem where pages that had a no-crawl code at the root directory still were being crawled (they were PDFs that had valuable IP in them). We discovered that the bots were getting in through links on other pages of ours (the PDFs are "samples" of products that …

The bots could be leaving the site as they follow other links. Sometimes it takes weeks for a bot to follow a new thread on a site that it reagularly indexes.
The one thing that people forget, though, is that it is valuable to submit an entry to the dmoz -- because otherwise they'll simply classify your site, and they might put you in the wrong place. This means directories like Yahoo might not rank you well where you want to …
