Benefits Of Moving Home.asp

   I'm tasked to move our home page to the root directory and was wondering exactly what are the benefits of doing this. Our home page is actually a copy of home.asp and was renamed to index.asp. I then modified this new file with some additional information we wanted people to see when they first saw our site. Right now both files, home.asp and index.asp, reside in the /pc directory. I do have a link to the home.asp file in the header of our site so I'm wondering if I need to move both files plus the header and footer files to the root directory, move only index.asp and make a copy of the header and footer files and move all three to the root directory, or some other combination I may not be thinking about. Everything works great right now and I'd hate to mess it up by moving a bunch of files around. If anyone has any experience in doing this and can tell if there has been an increase in traffic because of it, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
