MOZ Crawler only crawling one page per campaign
-
We set up some new campaigns, and now for the last two weekly crawls, the crawler is only accessing one page per campaign. Any ideas why this is happening? PS - two weeks back we did "upgrade" the account. Could this have been an issue?

can we see urls, there may be a techniocal reason

This happened to me in the past. My client's site had a custom 404 that redirect all missing pages to the homepage. When roger bot (seomoz crawler) searched for the robots.txt page (that was non-existent) it continually got redirect to the homepage.
So on that note, check if you have a robots.txt file. If not, add one and see if it solves the problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. There was not a robots.txt file. I'm hoping that will do it.
