Sites will appear at different times depending on how competitive a niche they are in and you shouldn't look to try and spam promote as it will gain a google-slap for acquiring links unnaturally.
I would disagree with spending half your time split between the Adsense forum and the Adwords forum - I would be more inclined to spend time on my actual website and adding relevant content. However, definately read up on adwords information as well to gauge advertisers opinions as they are the ones who are paying for your adsense, not google, but the adwords community as a whole.
Secondly - it is well worth having a good understanding of how adwords works - after-all this is where your money is coming from. Understanding what the advertisers are looking for on sites, what p's them off about sites - can result in much broader understanding of the whole system.
