The second series of content items may include advertisements, textual items or images. The certain screen area may serve a mobile device having a touch screen. Alternatively, the user signals are provided by tracking a user eye. The user signals may indicate that the user scrolls the first series of content items in a certain direction for displaying further content items of the first series exposable at the certain direction while hiding instantly uninterested content items located in a countering direction. Thereby, the user signals identify a certain zone in the countering direction as being outside the user attention.
