I got my Green card in March 200 and I left from USA for oversees. I have been out of USA for most time since then but never for more than six months. Would the immigration create a problem if I stayed out of the country for more than six months at a strech? Can I be denied the right to re-enter the USA if I prolong my stay oversees beyond six months?

I travel a lot, I have a green card, I stay out of the country for 5 months and a half, I was told by an immigration agent that I could not be out of the country for more then 6 months, and after 5 or 6 trips they will question your residence. Good luck!

If you stay longer than one calendar year without having gotten a re-entry permit before you left, you lose your status permanently. You can also lose it at any time before that that a CBP officer believes you no longer have the US as your primary residence.
See the reference below, but in actual practice they are far stricter than this makes it seem.

As long as your Green Card is valid, you can come back anytime. It doesn't matter if you left.
