Do you really need AdSense? It will take your traffic away from your website. Why not focus on the relevant content you are so passionate about.

The more you publish the better your chances of page 1 SERPs and that is what will soon provide a growing stream of traffic as Google start viewing your site as an 'Authority Site'.

More traffic leads to more affiliate click throughs to related products. Another traffic sharing option would be to become an Amazon Associate, assuming the relative products you represent are sold through Amazon. Not much isn't these days.

There may be other sources for ads which have different policies than Google Adsense. Check them out too. Also consider display ad companies who pay you on a CPM basis. There's always someone for everyone!

A small step towards your goal!

Google is not everything in life!

Have a great week!

I've created my website specifically so i can run ads on it and do affiliate marketing but u do as u wish! Good luck to you!

Yea, don't worry about Google, you will find your ways to monetize your site as you go. Your mission is much more important. Good Luck.

well kriskrklnd i'm in the same pool of disapproval as you. i did found out you can resubmit for approval after making corrections, but that probably take longer. Instead i am going to register with another gmail account and submit the same niche content.
Hope that will work out for us. Goodluck
