Due to my recent frustrations with verification options, I've been writing the developers at Bing over and over about this and although i cannot take credit for this recent breakthrough i must share that you can now verify your ning network with Bing by DNS verification
in a recent email, they confirmed that they will be enabling DNS verification for domains in your account. Past choices for domain verification included adding a snippet to your <head> code or uploading a dedicated XML file to the root of your site. We are now also offering a third verification option that will allow you to place a discrete CNAME record to your DNS to validate a domain as well.
They will also be integrating the new AdCenter in with webmaster tools.
Here is what they said about the AdCenter
The Bing Webmaster team is pleased to announce that we’re now integrating data from adCenter inside your webmaster tools accounts. Specifically, when viewing Traffic data and looking at the keywords which drove traffic to your site, you’ll notice an Avg CPC column on the left now, with more details in a floating pane to the left of that.

Ok. This sounds great, but I'm not sure what to do. Need to run out for grub, and will revisit this post as soon as I'm sated.
You should take the credit for this, I would. LOL
Ok. I got the first part about the CNAME record in DNS. Sounds simple enough,m but just a little more than I woukd care for. You would think they'd make it as easy as Google does.
I'm assuming AdCenter is their version of Google's AdSense? This is my first time hearing about it.
bing is totaly worthless as a search engine anyway if u submit a sitemap your sitemap is likely the only page (yes it treats an xml sitemap as a page) to get listed other sites that use bings search results end up listing pages with added code attached to urls that make the urls broken links i have had nothing but frustration with bing and it generates so lil trafic its useless
+1 Great thanks for sharing (and writing to bing) JFarrow - just did this myself.
