since google can crawl your site and rank it anyways, I doubt it?
I dunno, I'm kinda curious as to who else weighs in here. I use google analytics on both my sites and they're doing very well, but that's only cuz I'm using analytics to fix the mistakes I made when I was creating the sites, not having a clue as to what I was doing.
According to google I still have duplicate content I cannot figure out, as the duplicate URLs point to pages that do not fucking exist.

google analytics may hurt you if it brings extra attention to problems google would have eventually found anyways? A double edged sword: attention is necessary for a good position in the SERPs, but that attention from google can detect issues that may negatively impact SEO. That would be my guess anyways. Still, since google will crawl your site either way...I'm not quite sure how analytics would hurt you there
Maybe it could hurt you if you're trying to create a site farm and circle links between them, with the intention of hiding the origins of those links from google? I have separate analytics accounts for each of my sites for ease-of-use purposes, but I don't care if google knows I own them both. If I was trying to conceal that I'd definitely not use analytics, though
I'll definitely be checking back to see what people with more experience have to say
