Why I'm not on Bing/Yahoo

I have never seen such issue before, but now it's real.

I'm ranking 1st in Google for the keyword that gets tonloads of traffic.
I'm ranking nowhere for the same keyword in Bing & Yahoo.

Site is 5-6 months old, I have already submitted sitemap to Bing & Yahoo, but I'm confused. How's that even possible. I have quality links (loads of them), Google respects my site, I have good on-page SEO etc..

I know bing & yahoo tolarate spam sites, but why they don't like authority sites?

Any suggestions and recommendations are welcome.

Bing & Yahoo have been a real pain for me also over the years. I was always told that the SEO efforts I put into Google would pay off in both Yahoo and Bing. When it didn't I would simply resubmit sitemaps and so on through the webmaster tools as well as submitting individual links to be indexed.

Have you tried Bing local listings just as you may do with Google and it's local advertising campaign system?

I think I would be more concerned if I ranked on Bing/Yahoo and not Google

First position for your keyword in Google is going to bring you way more traffic than first position for your keyword on Bing and Yahoo combined
