Internet Brands, a Los Angeles operator of niche websites, on Monday said that it acquired an award-winning travel blog, Frugal Travel Guy, for an undisclosed amount.

The Frugal Travel Guy was founded in 2007 by Rick Ingersoll, a retired mortgage banker and avid world traveler. Ingersoll writes on topics that include navigating frequent flyer mile programs, making customer service requests, and the advantages of leveraging good credit ratings to take advantage of bank promotions. He and his team of writers will continue producing the Frugal Travel Guy blog after the acquisition.

The Frugal Travel Guy will join travel sites that include FlyerTalk, Wikitravel and CruiseMates in Internet Brands’ Travel and Leisure category.

“The expertise Rick and (his) team offer make the Frugal Travel Guy a valuable asset to our growing portfolio of travel sites designed to make travel easier, cheaper and more efficient for consumers,” Brent Conver, general manager of Travel and Leisure at Internet Brands, said in a statement.
