Bing Search Engine is currently the buzz all over the web because it seems to be a real killer stuff launched by Microsoft offering everyone with a Search Engine which has many features which Google Offered. Now lets start getting indexed first in this search engine to get free visitors because we as webmasters should think about getting traffic from all the search engines rather than just using them. Most of the websites are already indexed by Bing.com may be because of msn databases they already have but you can still submit your websites into their index after which the bing robots would crawl your website and show your websites on the bing search results.
First of all you need to visit the webmaster tools section of Bing Search Engine where you will be asked to enter your Websites Address ie the URL followed with the Sitemap Address which is not compulsary but its recommended to enter the Sitemap URL because it can help the crawlers find all the pages easily. In order to get access to this page Bing.com would require you to enter your MSN Login details to continue the procedure, hence there is no need to enter your website address while submitting.
Useful : Sitemap for Google , Sitemap for Yahoo
Once the submission is completed, Bing will ask you to authenticate yourself to make sure you are the real webmaster of the recently submitted website. You will either have to upload a XML Verification file to your root folder ie in the ‘Public_Html’ folder of your web hosting account or else add the tag they offer you to the
section of your main index page. Once the process is completed you will find a link to all your sites list and to my surprise it had a listing of my previously submitted websites which i had submitted while created sitemap for MSN.com
This is Awesome piece of information about step by step procedure of submitting website to Bing Search Engine. I am going to submit all of my 70 website one by one now. Appreciate your time in order to share such a vital information.

One of the most important thing i discovered while submitting my website to Bing is that it is same as Live/MSN search engine, which means while i started submitting my first website i showed me it is already present in the search engine. So the guys who have submitted their website to Live search engine they did not need to do the activity again. I hope that information will help for the readers of this post.

Thanks a lot. This helped quite a bit.
I think Bing(R) could be taking over the the web pretty soon. Maybe in a couple of years once people get to know the features Bing offers. Or I think taking the example of Microsoft IE and Mozilla FF, I think both of them will be used for their separate benefits.

Bing has a long way to go before it becomes as useful as Google, but I hope it gets there soon as Google seems to be turning into big brother.

I wanted my blog to get indexed in Bing.com. But I don’t submit it to Bing, I just optimize my website. And I think this is the right way to do.

What to do even after doing this not getting indexed.

For all those who have issues with Bing, Bing has very poor indexing. A lot of questions have been asked on Bing forums without satisfactory answers.
Basically, apart from doing what Amit has mentioned, you need to see that you are getting enough backlinks and wait.
