well that seem kinda odd.. becasue 1000 to 2000 hits isn't all that much these days.. you should try about 50k unique per day to make $1k

As with anything, it depends what your revenue model is. Do you plan on selling advertising? Monthly subscriptions? If you're selling a product or service, what is your conversion rate?
Since you're posting in the Advertising Sales Strategies forum, I assume that revenue is generated by selling advertising. Do you sell text links? Fixed-rate sponsorships? Are they exclusive? Banner impressions?
Through banner advertising, I suspect that 1,000 visitors a day should be able to pull off just shy of $100 a month. If you have a high quality audience and the ads are extremely targeted, perhaps as much as $200.

according to my experience no its not with just 1000 visitors even if they're all real too too hard depends on what you're trying to promote but stil its very hard to generate that much sales =D

10 pageviews per visitor is VERY generous. You will probably get that out of your regular members, but certainly not everyone who happens by your site. Also, six banner ads on a single page is too many. Remember, all of these banner ads are going to be competing against each other for a user's attention ... and the user is just going to want to participate in the forums and want it to be quick loading. I wouldn't do more than two banner ads - MAYBE three absolute tops, if they're very well placed.
