What does “Direct” mean in statistics?

Direct in the statistics Reason column means the short link used a direct/no-ad redirect because of its advertising type or the link owner’s plan. It does not mean that the visitor necessarily arrived without a referrer.

A blank Referer Domain means AdLinkFly did not receive a usable HTTP referrer. This commonly happens with typed or bookmarked URLs, some apps and documents, and browsers or sites with restrictive referrer policies.
