Do Shared WMT / Analytics Accounts Affect Rankings?

[Ivan]

Hey.

I work for an SEO company and have webmaster tools and google analytics set up for many websites from one account. This essentially tells google that I have access to those websites. Could this in any way affect rankings (i am from canada, but many clients are in the states)? It has not so far, but I am worried.

Lots of people in he same position, me included. I've never run into anything like that, not even when one of the websites gets penalized. If Google did that, people would run away from WMT and GA in droves - I don't think they could afford it.
