Ping Your Site Map to Bing
Now that Bing and Yahoo are teaming up with search, having your web site optimized for Microsoft’s new search engine is even more important. While browsing through some of Bing’s webmaster documentation, I found a way you an submit your sitemap to them – in one single easy step.
All you need to do is copy and paste this into your address bar, replacing the sitemap URL path with your own.

If done successfully, you will get a message that says, “Thanks for submitting your sitemap”.
For those of you who like to keep up with more data, you can also submit your site map to Bing by signing up or logging into the Bing Webmaster Tools section. From there you can get access to more tools, like the keyword research tool, the HTTP verifier, and the robots.txt validator.
