IMO it's kind of impossible to get recognition with walkthroughs, probably the most oversaturated type of content, so unless you are very very good at it you are going to have a hard time. But yeah I watch analytics all the time, I made some good progress over the past monthI've been doing YouTube for about 2 years, and I really only get a 1-2 views a day. Then again, I'm probably still doing something wrong. Analytics should be a good place to start in order to gauge your progress from 9 months ago.
