While dd can be used to copy a directory, it cannot be used alone for
this task. Try this:

cp -a /var/www/* /media/lin50
This may work if there are no "hidden" files in the directory (files whose
names begin with a period), and if there are no files with embedded blanks
in their names, etc. But as a more general approach, I suggest
cp -a /var/www/. /media/lin50
The above handles all of the aforementioned special cases. This copies
the entire directory tree below /var/www, including subdirectories, which
I assume is the OP's intent.
pax will do the job, but you will need to install it:
cd /var/www
pax -rw . /media/lin50
