Google can't know for sure how much traffic a website gets unless the site is tracked by Google Analytics. For the majority of the sites, Google has no clue on the visitor numbers etc.

If your site comes up at the top of Google, Google can sort of track how long a visitor spend at your site before going back to Google and clicking on the search results above or below your site. If Google consistantly find people spend less time at your site than others, your rankings may drop because Google assumes the longer a visitor stays at your site, the more relevant your site is for the search term.

Google does have ways to collect user feedback. That feedback is a part of their ranking algorithm.
