today i checked adsense panel and it was showing 45 clicks for $1.32 earnings... does it really mean that adsense paid me $1.32 for 45 clicks on ads? if it does then dont you think it is very low commission?

You are averageing about $0.03 per click suggesting the Advertisers are paying Google ~$0.06 per click. This may be low, but many advertisers bid less than this.
If your data is from early in the day, it could be due to delays in some of the data being reported - maybe some clicks have been reported but the earnings from these have yet to come through. This quite often happens during the day, it sorts itself out by the time the day's data is finalised. The more clicks you have, the less apparent this is.
You may have some site targeted Ads showning. These pay by 1000 impressions. Look at AdSense/Advanced Reports. Select "Show data by individual Ad" and check the "Show data by targeting type" box.

Yes, that is low. I sometimes see those kind of earnings on some of my channels. I know it is disappointing to have earnings that come out to a meager 2.9 cents per click.
Hang in there. On some days it will improve dramatically. There are many ups and downs associated with AdSense. The average for the month is what really counts.
1)Most of offices Closed today because of Sunday & year end
2)Many offices will be closed tmrw as well so they can not amswer sales queries.
3)Traffic will anyway down today.
I am talking about another adsense a/c and not the one on which i had clicked unintentionally and btw I had provided all info to google myself and they probably have cut off commission for those clicks.
I still believe that $1.32 even for 35 clicks is unfair commission :-s

You have two Adsense accounts? Or do you just mean two websites, one adsense account?

You're right. That is terrible. I am not sure what your goals are, but it look slike you'll need thousands of clicks a day to make something decent.
$1.32 even for 35 clicks
$13.20 even for 350 clicks
$132.00 even for 3500 clicks
Who knows if smart pricing hasn't even kicked in.

When the domain name was added to your adsense account? Numbers may get better with time... if the niche is not "overpopulated" with sites (i.e. too much advertising space). Amount per click may go up if your website traffic converts well (think this thing is known as "smartpricing").
Offtop: i'm considering adsense earnings as "good to have this than nothing". Glad it covers my hosting expenses :)
what is smart pricing and how can it affect my earnings?
is there any free tool available that I can install / attach with my pages that display adsense ads to confirm that adsense is recording the accurate number of clicks for my ads?
what could be other tips that I can follow to get maximum earnings from adsense?

Google records clicks and earnings accurately. Other adsense tracking tools cannot track ads accuratelly, so you cannot rely on third party tools.
And, realistically, what're you going to do if the other tool tells you something different? Google aren't going to turn around and hand you extra money on the basis of the output of a third party script.
For all that there are things you can do to improve your earnings, it comes down to a "take what you're given" situation in the end. The option is yours to try another advertising system - but most people seem to do better with Google than any other.
