Add web part in page layout?

When deploying a page to SharePoint through a Modules feature, there are several options adding web parts to this. These are as follows: Add the web parts to the page programmatically via a feature receiver. This approach can be done quickly and easily if you are familiar with coding, however if the feature receiver fails, the web part page may continue to be checked out. Embed references to the web parts directly in the mark-up of the aspx page. The main problem with this approach is that once the page is deployed, the page is still “ghosted”. This means that the normal drop down to “Edit Web Part” is not shown, blocking future modifications to the page. The third approach (the preferred one), is to embed the webpart markup in “AllUsersWebPart” nodes in the modules elements.xml file (as shown in the example below).
