Who told you that is should be static?
What would be a "WebMethod" and "static" in Ajax, jQuery and JavaScript?

A static method is simply one that is disassociated from any instance of its containing class. The more common alternative is an instance method, which is a method whose result is dependent on the state of a particular instance of the class it belongs to.

The key difference to understand is that a static method can be called without setting up a proper instance of the class it belongs to.In a sense, it is a stateless method.
