Very good points above, anyway if a site has REALLY good content, one would link to it anyway even if it has Adsense. Yes, a site with ads from the beginning with no traffic is usually a bad sign, but not a general rule.

Just try to avoid spammy look and focus on being serious and honest about your website and there you go.

CONSIDER.
If you have little traffic AVOID Adsense. Ugly sites or sites with little content or traffic might actually "perform" well with Adsense, but Adsense might be used as a DOOR OUT, people in fact are leaving your site. You'll see there is a paradox on traffic there unless you really have good content-traffic already.

Don't burn your site out.
