I don’t know about how common, but check out this example: http://aspalliance.com/1922_PageMethods_In_ASPNET_AJAX.all
Use page methods if you don’t want to publicly expose a web service, and creating a web method that’s specifically only to that page, IMHO. So for instance, I need web service features for one page only, that’s when I create a page method. If I need something reusable in two pages, but don’t want to publically expose it, I create a helper and the web method wraps the helper.
Otherwise, if you are looking to create a dynamic web site and share information, go with a traditional ASMX or WCF service.
HTH.
