I use Kayak, and it always kicks me directly to the airline to purchase. Does that get counted as the airline selling its product directly?

If the airline doesn't pay Kayak, then yes, that counts as a direct sale. As far as I know, Kayak makes their money on hotel bookings. The air bookings are a loss leader.
