Honestly I haven't been paying attention to Bing or Yahoo like I should.

Dave Kelly (Loophole writter) makes a valid point: Even though Bing gets less traffic, it may be easier to rank for "better" keywords, which may balance Bing sending less traffic.

I believe Loophole was written before MSN became Bing, are the conditions still the same?

Yes Kurt it was written before msn became bing, but he has updated his video to show he still ranks for the same keywords on bing as he did on msn.

I've cheated and did some research from sources I trust and here's what they say:

Domain age - Just about everyone agrees with this.

unique content

H1 & H2 header tags ALT tags

unique page titles and descriptions.

pages themed around one topic or subject.

good spelling and grammatical, no typos

Publish unique, typo free and link-worthy content.

relevant links

valid html

no broken links

Thanks Kurt, most of what you found is listed in his loophole, and I want to carry on with this discussion, but I feel I would be giving to much info on his product, which he makes money on.

Now with that said I will try to keep updates on my progress, but I think its worth targeting bing as opposed to Google, heck so far I see some domains in both with common strategies.

No doubt google is king and much faster with indexing than bing but supposidly you will stay ranked on bing longer than google, they dont dance as much, and are not as sophisticated as google, I think that is the key "not as sophisticated as google"
