I always focus on optimizing my websites for Google and in the long run I end up getting traffic from Bing, Yahoo and other search engines. But if you want to optimize your site for Bing then their guidelines are pretty simple.

Submit site to Bing webmaster tools and submit sitemap
Make sure you have good quality content
Have quality backlinks
Unlike Google, on Bing social signals are a ranking factor
Pagespeed (make sure your site loads fast)
Use 301 permanent redirects when moving content
Have good on-page SEO (title, meta description, H1 tag, good internal link structure, alt tags on images and link to external sites)

You can read more of their guidelines here: http://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/webmaster-guidelines-30fba23a

You must also check out Bing Authorship, it works with Linkedin. You can also use their SEO Analyzer tool to check if your pages are well optimized.

Hope that helps :)
