That would be over $100/day. So, if your daily budget is only $25/day, Google knows your average CTR and tries to even out your ads so they will run evenly throughout the day instead of spending your budget in the first 6-8 hours. That means your ad will be shown only 25% of the time that it could have. The option of having your ads displayed for every matching query could mean your budget would be spent early, and your ads would not be displayed after that happens.

Good Answer. There is a setting that will allow you to post all of your ads in as little time as possible but I don't like that setting for 2 reasons. 1- you know your competition is clicking the ads and this gives them an opportunity to run up your bill quickly(Even though you get a credit for this at the end of the month) and 2-I would want my ads distributed evenly throughout the day in order to try to get a wide ranging audience.
