Los Angeles-based Demand Media and Marina Del Rey-based InfoSearch Media said today that Demand Media has purchased the firm's AnswerBag.com web site.

InfoSearch Media said that the terms of the deal call for Demand Media to purchase $2M in its ContentLogic products over the next two years, and will receive warrants to purchase 5 million shares of InfoSearch Media's common stock in exchange for $3M in cash and warrants for 125,000 shares of Demand Media Series C preferred stock.
