Does Google Analytics have influence on the link juice?

Does it have influence when I integrate Google Analytics on a site because Google will know then where the site's traffic flows?

Basically the link juice is estimated by the Google algorithms, but as soon as Google Analytics is integrated Google knows exact values for the site (where the users click and so on).

What do you think?

    Google doesn't use data from GA as it could easily be misleading if it is improperly installed. Analytics info is for the site owner only. Even without GA Google can still determine your CTR from search and even your bounce rate (when the user clicks back to search).

    Google would still know the traffic is clicking into your site from any external domain/page that's running any Google product that has embed code (WMT, Adsense, Youtube, G+, GA, etc...).

    I wouldn't worry about it, then again I have decent links/traffic.

    So the "bounce rate" is used to measure if a search result was good or not?

      Not necessarily. Example, If the search query was a question & the answer was found on the first page (link search traffic clicked) traffic probably won't have much incentive to click a 2nd+ link/page on the same domain. That search still served it's purpose.
