That average is $1.13 a click. This is not bad at all. Higher paying clicks will come, but you'll need more traffic/clicks to see them. Good luck
I would LOVE to get your site that makes $1.13 for a click ... can I buy it for $10? a LOT better than what adsense gave you
I visited adsensechat.com, 50% of people making less than $100 a month. But...guess what around 5% (it's a very big number, so not 1 in a million) making $10k+ a month, the rest are also decent. Number of people $100-$500 a month also big, after that less and less, soooo to conclude....it seems once you figure it out and give it a time to grow adsense will be big for you probably. About the guy with $10 a day after a year, I think it should be something like $25-30 a day at least, probably it's just 1 site or he happy with it/don't put work or just have additional income like job/affiliates/freelance/whatever Prepare to work at least for 6 monthes and get nill in return, if you don't adsense is not for you.
