How long does it stay in Google cache?

I asked some webmaster to remove my unique name from their website.
They agreed (either editing the page, or removing it entirely).

But the information is still in the cache at Google.

When I google my unique name, Google still gives 78 occurences for it, out
of which 70 are NO LONGER valid.

Those pages were second class pages (archived old forum discussions, maily),
with a PageRank of zero. How long does it take for Google to re-index thoses
pages - if ever?

That is good.

This forum is the one you asked the webmaster to remove your name? When the
pages are removed they also have to be physically removed by informing
Google. If you sit and wait it could be a while. Now if this old forum
aren't the pages you asked to remove and such well it will stay as long as
the page stays and could be longer to never until the old forum page is
removed and removed from the index.

Sorry, but I did not get your meaning.

The pages were on a specific forum
(not this one, just a web-based forum).
The pages are no longer on that specific
forum (the webmaster agreed to remove
them and/or edit them).

How long will it take before Google re-indexes
the pages that have been either removed or edited?

Days to months, depends on how long it takes for Google to re spider
and update the database etc...

All because the page has changed and even the Google cache, does not
mean all of Google has taken the change into account.

The above assumes there are no links to the pages using your name, if
there are it will probably stay listed as long as the links remain
using your name as anchor text.

OK, once the page has been removed from the server as the webmaster said he
did doesn't remove it from the index. He or she has to remove them by using
the removal tool from Google. This sometimes works but can take a while.

(not this one, just a web-based forum).

Ok, well if the removal tool was not used the cache can stay for a while. I
have seen some things taht have been up for a whole year when the page has
been down. Sometimes you have to do a removal with the tool.
http://www.google.com/webmasters/remove.html the webmaster has to follow
these instructions.

That depends if the page is giving a 404 or has been just changed. Also
depends on the PR of the pages and how often the bot is used to come to the
pages for the changed ones. Can't say as I don't know the site or pages in
question so I can not even give you an educated guess.

thanks for you answer

"Google still has cached pages of mine
that have been physically removed
over 2 years ago"

--> But does Google visit the website
where the pages were/are?

"Days to months, depends on
how long it takes for Google to
re spider and update the database etc"

--> In YOUR experience,
how long would you say
the maximum is?

"OK, once the page has been removed
from the server as the webmaster said he
did doesn't remove it from the index."

--> OK, so it is possible that my unique name is no longer on the website,
it it no longer in the cache, but when people google my name, they are sent
to pages... that no longer exist. Right? And this can last for monthes, even
years. Did I understand you proprely?

I think so.

OK, so an information that no longer exists
on a webpage can still exist in Google cache
for years. Do you know how many years?
