Similar to Google, Bing has a webmaster tool to determine errors, anything wrong with your site, and what you need to fix. Leverage the Bing webmaster tool on a regular basis, when you do this you get more insight, and more data that will help you to rank high on Bing. Their Webmaster tool will tell you what changes you need to make as well.
