On the heels of the Million Dollar Homepage, the Nickels for Katrina website takes that ideas and puts a generous philanthropic twist to it. All the funds raised will to benefit the Red Cross. According to their website:
In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the city of New Orleans. This has created a state of need for the city. Agencies such as the Red Cross and FEMA have made it clear that the best way to help the Katrina effort is to donate money to the cause.
Our idea is to raise $50,000 to help with the relief effort. Here’s where you come in. We are giving away pixels on the front page of our web site in exchange for $.05 US each:
If we can sell off all 1 million pixels on the front page, we will raise: $.05 x 1,000,000 = $50,000!

MAN! I wish I would have thought of that first!

I wish those guys luck, but I would also like to make people aware of anyother site online. It's called Pixels To Help.us. Unlike any other pay per pixel site out there, this one is run directly by a nonprofit organization with 100% of the funds generated being used to help disaster victims.
This site is unique as it cuts out the middle man, has no overhead and will give you a donation receipt with your payment. Not only can you now own a special place on the internet, you can help save lives, feel better about doing it and get a benefit from it. Just remember, it could be you that we are helping one day. Pixels To Help.us is operated by Southern Search & Rescue, Inc., a registered 501c3 charity.
