Hello,

Its better to use Master Page to add a custom footer. Please refer this similar thread:

Hello,

 

If you use the page layout then all the pages on site you need to create from this page layout only or need to add footer control in every page layout. As KSDN mentioned you can add custom footer control to the master page.  One possible approach to use Footer is create footer link list and render the links from the list. So if you go for list then you can have user control and render the links from the list in user control.  This also resolves the problem, if there are different links in footer on different web. Since you can have Footer Link List at web level. Also you can cache the links for given web.
