One tracker I'm a member of combats this two ways.
1. You get one point for seeding a torrent per hour, up to 10 total. You can exchange 1,000 pts for 10GB of upload credit (e.g. improves your ratio). The torrents don't need to actually be downloaded by anyone to count. This seems to work well as torrents that are weeks and weeks old still have seeds.
2. Popular torrents are listed as 'FREE', which means that downloads don't count against your ratio, but upload is still counted. So anything that gets swarmed gets lots of activity.
