Although Bing only gets a fraction of search engine traffic compared to Google and Yahoo submitting your Blogger sitemap and blog is still worthwhile. This tutorial covers the steps that are necessary to add your site to Bing via the Webmaster Center. Since this tutorial is specifically aimed at beginners and those new to blogging with Blogger.com, very little knowledge is assumed - although it would be useful to anyone interested in a walkthrough of the Bing submission process.
How to Add Your Blogger Blog and Its Sitemap to Bing
1. Login to Bing Webmaster Center with a hotmail account if you have one. Otherwise you will need to sign up first.
2. By default you will be taken to the Add a Site page (if you are adding your first site) or the Site List page(if you already have asite listed).
3. On the Site List page click the Add a site button. Then enter the URL address of your blog in the box provided.
4. Then enter the address of your sitemap in the box provided.
The address of your sitemap is: http://yoursitename.blogspot.com/atom.xml (you can also use rss.xml)
Be sure to substitute yoursitename with the actual name of your site.
5. Enter your email address if you wish Bing to contact you if it encounters problems.
6. By default you will be signed up for periodic news updates. If you do not want this you need to uncheck the box.
7. Click on the Submit button.
8. Next you will be taken to the Authenticate Ownership of Website Page. You will be given two authentication options. Choose the Meta Tag Authentication Method by highlighting the code provided and copying it using Ctrl + C. Keep this browser window open as we will come back here.
9. In a new tab or window of your browser login in to your Blogger blog and navigate to Layout --> Edit HTML. It is a good idea to backup your template at this point in case you inadvertently overwrite some existing code. For a backup of your site Click on Download Full Template.
10. Locate the <head> tag which will be about 5-10 lines from the top. You can paste the code anywhere in the head section. The best place would be after this line: <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
11. Save Template.
12. Return to Bing Webmaster Centre and click on the Return to Site List button.
13. All going well you will now be able to see your Blogger website listed in the Site List.
14. Click on your site and you will be taken to the Site Summary - Webmaster Dashboard page.
15. It is now a matter of waiting for MSNBot to crawl and index your site. You will need patience as this is by no means a fast process. Do not forget to sign out of MSN Webmaster Tools when you are done.
Tip: For a faster response you can also try submitting the sitemap of your blog to Moreover.com. In the past, Moreover has provided the submitted feeds to MSN for crawling and indexing. I am not entirely certain this is still in force but it is simple to do - so just try it. Simply copy the code below and paste it into your browser address bar

Be sure to substitute yoursitename with the actual name of your site.
If successful you will receive the following message: Thank you for your ping. The moreover database will be updated with the new data from your url - http://yoursitename.blogspot.com/rss.xml as soon as possible.
In this post I have shown you in detail how to submit your Blogger blog to Bing as well as how to authenticate your site and add a sitemap.
Good luck!
