Don't worry. If you don't have the traffic then you wouldn't make anything anyway.

Hi - you may wish to read my post to see what is required. Are You Ready for AdSense

Sorry to have learned that you've been rejected by Google Adsense friend. My tip: As soon as you are accepted by Google adsense, you will need to continue to write 3-5 posts every week to be consider a worthy blogger. When I mean posts, I mean posts that are helpful, interactive, unique, using the right keywords for SEO, etc.
So, continue to write good posts with the components as I've pointed out and it can make the difference. All the best!

Hi Shannon! I highly recommend you follow Partha (and read his past posts) if you're not already. He has said it's all about getting traffic and not to worry about things like Google Adsense until you're getting a signicant amount (which takes 8-10 months according to him). But he says it much better than I do. You will love him.

He mostly talks about how to write good content and how to set up your posts and find good keywords.

I was also rejected by Google Adsense and I think I had 17 posts at the time. Unfortunately, I can't really help you know when to reapply, but for now I would focus on writing good content and reading "Partha's potions" :)

Hi Shannon, I have to agree with waiting until you have more posts. But the number of posts isn't as important as the quality and of course, the amount of traffic arriving to your site. Remember, it's all about the quality. If you're writing interesting and engaging posts, people will start recommending you and as your content becomes more popular, your organic traffic will increase making it easier for Google to accept you. Hope this helps.
