San Francisco - Technorati, a blog search and advertising network that tracks over 100 million blogs, has acquired Blogcritics, a six-year-old blog aggregation network, CEO Richard Jalichandra announced on his blog.

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

The Blogcritics network counts thousands of bloggers with a combined audience of more than one million.

"Blogcritics brings us closer to an open community of bloggers and the audience that follows them. It also gives us a lot more advertising inventory," said Jalichandra.

"What's in it for them? Our combined resources will help that community grow and expose their work to an even wider audience. We'll also work more closely with Blogcritics authors so they can monetize their own blogs."

Blogcritics has been part of the company's Technorati Media section since June.
