clickthroughs on google organic results definitely affect future placements, as an opinion.
Googles main aim is to deliver relevant websites to searches. If people are clicking through to one site more than others, then it stands to reason that that site is more relevant to the seach they requested. Hence, google will place that listing higher and higher over time.. it obviously is about what its about !
I'd imagine thay also use the bounce rate too, to determine if people leave immediatley after, like they would if they found a useless or irrelevant site.
