i make many many many times that money with less impression.... I dont know which niche your website is.... maybe your site caters to tech savvy audience.. who wont click on ads... just read your content and hit back button. target women and kids and elders (not the tech savvy people) and you would have good click through on the ads.

100 pageviews a day is nothing you cant expect money from 100 pvs/day first work on your traffic and then think of earning
Try placing you ads higher and closer to your content. I did that and noticed an improvement. Traffic for that site is less than 1000k/day.
I think the adsense income does depend on the way you place your ad units. Those should attract the visitors for clicks.
If your traffic was all organic and your niche was well targeted, you should be making at least $5 with that many impressions, if not much more. Still, work on SEO - the more organic traffic you have, the better.
Hey - you are making me feel good. Generally been no lower than 2.5, which is nothing huge, but decent. The advice earlier about targeting people who are not tech saavy is sensible. People highly computer literate often seek results with searches, not ads on impulse. It's rare that I use ads myself for buying. Only if I come up short on searches.
You must investigate where your traffic are coming from. Social networks/bookmark like stumbelupon is know for unconverted clicks.
I think first & foremost thing is your ad placement , thats wrong as you are not getting good clicks even with that traffic & then do improve the traffic & then see how much $$s you are going to get into your pocket as fast as possible.
