How does it make a difference at all? Unless what you are promoting can't take the traffic, it's irrelevant. When you're paying CPC you have no reason to care when the clicks come in, 10 clicks a day for three days isn't any worse or better than 30 clicks in five minutes.

It makes a difference because it's an explicit setting. $15/day. And who knows how that scales? What if going through $500 only takes 45 min?

  As long as it doesn't spend more than the customer wanted to spend, it's irrelevant. Let's say I want to spend. If I have $500 to spend, and I want to pay CPC, how is getting $500 worth of clicks in 45 minutes worse than getting $500 worth of clicks over three days?

    I think it is relevant because it's wrong. Unless it says somewhere that it's a suggestion or it probably won't work like that. If you tell AdMob to not spend more than $15 a day and then it immediately spends triple that amount I wouldn't say that's giving you a fair shake on what they promised.

      AdMob sucks. IMO they do this on purpose to discourage small publishers. I've also heard, from a reliable source, that they also send you worse traffic until your account is more "established", and if your early CTR sucks, you may never get the bump. I've heard of people having to start new accounts after their first few campaigns do poorly. I suggest you try InMobi and AdModa. (Not affiliated with either except that I've been happy with the traffic I bought there)

    Because you might have a $500 testing budget and want to test how your campaign does over the course of the week. You lose out on valuable data even if your $500 in a few minutes converts well.
