robots.txt and indexed pages

[Monkey SEO]

i created a robots.txt file sometime last week for my blog to restrict the duplicated pages created by wordpress. i think i did it right. i tested it in google webmaster tools and it shows me that the pages i want restricted are in fact restricted by my robots file. here's what is in it:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-
Disallow: /feed/
Disallow: /trackback/
Disallow: /rss/
Disallow: /comments/feed/
Disallow: /page/
Disallow: /date/
Disallow: /comments/
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /2006/
Disallow: /2007/
Disallow: /*?*
Disallow: /page/
Disallow: /iframes/
Disallow: /recommends/
Disallow: /category/
Disallow: /*/feed/

webmaster tools tells me it last downloaded my robots.txt file at 9 am this morning, i know that it has downloaded it at least a couple more times prior as well. but some of the pages are still in google's index:

• www.monkeyseo.com/category/google/
• www.monkeyseo.com/2007/03/

for example. there are more in the index as well.

how long will it take google to de-index the urls restricted by my robots.txt file?

It depends on their crawl rate of those pages. If you want them removed sooner you can remove them through your webmaster control panel.

Submit unwanted pages to Google link removal tool in Google webmasters tools.
