Mainly, keeping the camera as level as possible, especially from side to
side. Your picture looks very nice, but appears to be slightly lower on the
right-hand side -- that is, the camera was tilted just a bit to the left.
Ordinary photos can be straightened up with a little cropping of course, but
this is harder to do with panoramic photos because their width means even a
small amount of straightening up would mean cutting away part of the subject
that you'd prefer to keep.

I try to follow these guidelines when I shoot a pano:

Use a Tripod
Shoot RAW if available on your camera
Use Aperture Priority only
Meter far left and remember the setting.
Meter far right and remember the setting
Average "far right" and "far left" shutter speed when you shift camera to
Manual mode
Take a picture of the ground or your finger to mark the beginning of your
pano series
Shoot vertically only
Overlap about 25%
When done, shoot the ground or your finger to mark the end of your pano
series.
Back at the computer, don't process the RAW beyond white balance. Use the
same for all images.

Process in Photoshop or whatever your stitching program is.
'
Enjoy the results.
