CondéNet has acquired SFO*Media, publisher of the travel blogs HotelChatter.com and Jaunted.com. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Building on Concierge.com, the acquisition is expected to help CondéNet expand its travel offering for users and advertisers.

HotelChatter.com is dedicated to covering everything related to hotels and lodging around the world. Jaunted.com, meanwhile, is a pop culture travel guide, delivering constantly updated travel know-how. Together, the blogs attract about one million unique users per month.

The blogs will continue to operate as stand-alone brands, and will be cross-promoted where relevant on Concierge.com. The Concierge.com sales team will sell placement on the blogs, both individually and included in packages with Concierge.com and cntraveler.com.
