1. Content is the King
Just like any other major search engine, Bing loves the fresh and unique content. So keep your content stand out to attract the search engine Crawlers.

2. Bounce Rate
Bing crawlers considers the bounce rate as one of the major ranking factors. The high bounce rate might indicate the low quality content or services. It also indicates the high ratio of unhappy visitors. In such case, of high bounce rate, your website might get ranked at lower position.

3. XML Sitemaps 
It is strongly recommended to have an error free XML sitemap. The XML sitemap should not contain the broken or not found URLs. If the BingBot will find single Not found page during crawling process, it might drop the remaining URLs from crawling. So be careful about your sitemap and keep it error free.

4. RSS Feed 
RSS Feed is one of the important factors considered by the BingBot It uses the content of RSS as the alert of content update to schedule the next crawling. So Generate error free and clean RSS.

5. Robots.txt File Configuration
Many times it has been noticed by the Bing Crawlers that people mistakenly blocked the crawlers from crawling and indexing their website. It will refrain the crawling bots from crawling the site and index it. So avoid such silly and crazy mistakes which can hurt badly.

6. Use Bing Webmasters Tool
Bing webmaster tool provides you the plethora of information about your website which will help you to take necessary actions to improve the rankings of your website. It is easy to use and completely free tool. So don't hesitate to use it.

Hope these simple but effective tips will help you to get better rankings on Bing.
