New sites tend to get ranked better in MSN, I am not sure if this is still true for Bing. MSN used to have no/less sandbox. Strategies for new sites is not different, keep working hard and be patient.
I think the most important thing for bing ranking is the same as google ranking... links! I've never seen any evidence of a bing sandbox. And I agree on hard work and patience!
I think their ranking methods are different to Google, just like Yahoo's are. 6 months ago, one of my websites were getting about 1k traffic from yahoo+bing/msn combined. I had about 10-15k backlinks then. Now, I get about 20 unique view/day from Bing, and maybe 40-50 from Yahoo. However I'm getting almost 8,000-9,000 from Google. Now I have about 150,000-200,000 backlinks. It's obviously a different ranking method.
Focus on on page SEO and building backlinks with the keyword in the anchor text. They also tend to rank domains with they keyword in them higher then others.
why care? It's called having a "plan B". I think it's good to target both (with most of the focus on google of course). I'll just add that the TITLE and keywords in your url seem to be very important to bing.
Bing seems to give preference to the sites that have the same domain name and title. For example, a site called Big Crazy Cattle with a domain of bigcrazycattle.com. Haters, the big crazy example is just an example so chill.
hello, we can't do more for this but you can try do one thing that when you search the resource for promotion , you search the resource from that particular search engine where to rang your website. That may be effect in SERP of a the website.
Bing is reat as a search engine because of its demographics which accounts for a large number of older people, 55 and over. So it all depends on your website product. I also noticed on some of my sites that Bing referrals tend to stay on the website longer. I still havent figured out the SEO for Bing though. I tend to rank higher on Bing then on Google. If anyone has any ideas what algorythm they use share!!!

Right well I don't think these are true. Google and Yahoo/Bing definitely rate sites differently and I'm not just on about a small difference. I get over 30k hits a day from Google, have thousands of backlinks and over 500k pages indexed. Bing on the other hand is totally different and only sends 100-150 hits a day. Don't go suggesting something obvious like submit to their webmaster area either as I've obviously done that. The domain name, which is 4 years old, doesn't have any relevant keywords in it (although the paths do) so I'm thinking this may be a factor as other's such as going2oahu have mentioned. Offsite seo is probably better than onsite due to the amount of inbound links. Maybe their's some truth in what people are saying about onsite being more important. If that's the case I suppose it should be easier to fix but I really can't understand bing. I've Google sorted and ranked number for all my targeted keywords but can't figure out what Bing likes. Whatever it is it's not the same as Google as people think and being high in Google does not guarantee you'll be high in Bing or Yahoo. Oh it also annoys me when people reply with comments like "but Google sends more traffic". If your targeting people at work or college most can't modify their machines and have the default search engines and toolbars which is generally bing. Older people are far less likely to modify also. Just because you installed the Google Toolbar doesn't meant your 75 year old grandmother did or the old man at the office who doesn't know what a PDF is.
All 3 of the search engines index differently so you will always have a difference of page hits from each. The algorithms used are all well-kept secrets of the companies developers.
