Beside, using both is impractical also; just try to imagine where your page will
land in terms of functionality once you do this.Make sure that all links are present and can be easily found by the site user when you build home page. Some sites make it a practice to put the links on either the left or side panel so the user can easily find what they are looking for. While others would rather incorporate the links as part of the content. They are both good choices actually; you can adapt whichever fits the way your site was built since you are sure that the links can be easily found and is fully functional.
