Is it worth moving a new site to another folder for a higher PageRank?

My root directory has a good PR - but my /blog folder does not.. move?

Over the past few years, my root site <edited> has gained a decent pagerank. But as I started my blog in the /blog folder, I lost that PR.

I have a 301 redirect to move traffic to /blog but I hear that can take months.

As I haven't begun to get indexed much and the blog is only a few days old with only a few links out there, would it be worth it to move the blog to the root folder as I have many links to my root out there currently?

I believe my root is at a PR 4 which is why I'm so interested. 0 to 4 is a decent leap...

Ah, so sorry! Thanks for the edit :)

Toolbar PageRank (which is not "real" PR) cannot be depended on. But real PR is determined by link to the url - the file path or directory depth is not a factor whatsoever -- just links. Don't bother with the move.

Ok, that's what I was hoping.

At first it seemed like a non-issue - if hundreds of links pointed to the site xx.com, giving it decent rankings, that xx.com/subfolder wouldn't appear like an entirely different site.

It's only been 4-5 days, so I'm just gonna keep writing content and focus on that :)
