Importance of Social Signals

[nomad]

Social signals are the engagements you receive on social sites when you share your content. For example, if you share your website links and when you receive likes, comments, and shares, your content generates social signals. Social signals work just like backlinks and tell the search engine bots to push the content higher on the search algorithm. Therefore, sharing on social media also helps in SEO

Given such importance of social signals, I may speculate why social media platforms such as Twitter do not have dislike buttons. An unlike action would have the opposite effect of a like action.
Twitter does not want to risk having the site ranked lowly on account of dislikes.

Social signals are very important because they can help to boost one's visibility on social media and search engines. Social signals can also help to drive traffic to one's website.
