"You need 30+ posts to get approved" myth

"You need 30+ posts to get approved" myth
The number gets repeated like gospel. It's made up.
I've gotten sites approved with 8-12 strong pages and seen 50-post sites rejected. AdSense approval isn't a post counter — it's: is there real, original value, and the required pages (about, contact, privacy)?
The rejections I've actually seen come from thin/scraped content, a half-finished site, or 'under construction' placeholders — not from low post count.
Quality + trust pages beat quantity. Don't pad with filler junk to 'hit 30' — that's what gets you denied.
Ship fewer, real pages.
