The Spam module provides numerous tools to auto-detect and deal with spam content that is posted to your site, without having to rely on third-party services.

The Spam module provides a trainable Bayesian filter, automatic learning of spammer URLs, flagging of content with an excessive number of links, the ability to create custom filters, and more.

[UPDATE: 1.2 was not correct as some of the hooks would not get defined. More or less, that means some of the functionality would not work properly. Please upgrade to 1.3 to fix the problem. See #1222546: The List of Spam Comments is Broken and #1298480: "Mark as Spam" and "Mark as Not Spam" links for comments going to 404 page. among other similar bug reports.]

This module allows you to authenticate users with a browser-based password (HTTP Auth). You can restrict access to the site by role and choose to secure restricted pages or the entire site. This means the site will be inaccessible to search engines and other crawlers, but you can still allow access to certain users.

This module provides web content providers with the means to earn revenue from visitors by displaying ads from Google AdSenseâ„¢ advertising service on their sites.

Why should you use it:

  • AdSense for Search and Drupal are incompatible as both use the 'q' query for different purposes. Using this module, you can display the search results in your site.
  • The module provides easy-to-use ad blocks.
  • You can easily disable the ads for certain roles.
  • Provides simple controls for troubleshooting the ads before going live with the site.
  • If Google changes some minor details in the script, your code can be updated site-wide just by upgrading the module.
  • Protects you from displaying more ads in a page than the maximum allowed by Google (check current disabled)
  • If you want to do ad revenue sharing, there's really no other option

Why shouldn't you use it:

  • Strictly speaking, this module is not in compliance with the AdSense TOS, since you're not exactly copy-pasting the script code in your site. No one has ever reported being banned because of using this module, and Google knows of its existence, and seem not to mind.
