How do you not have an existing WoW account? You stated that you went to worldofwarcraft.com to try to renew your account; am I missing something here?
The CD keys are only required to download the game client onto your computer. You can link your WoW account with your BNet account without a CD key. It's quite simple, really.

You said you quit playing a year ago. At this time you must have had an own account which is the one you will need to merge your battle.net account with. Recover this account and merge it with your battle.net account.
I find it odd that you say you don't have an existing World of Warcraft account—do you mean, you cancelled the subscription and "deleted" it? Blizzard always backs up accounts. This is your chance—recover it! Don't waste your money on another account by buying the authentication keys all over again.
Hope this helps you. :-)

I unfortunately don't have much experience with accounts that have had their subscription cancelled.
I would suggest trying to
login
on your old account
at the official
WoW US
or
WoW EU
homepage (depending on whether your old account was US or EU)
look for a column or prompt on the account management page which tells you to merge your WoW account with battle.net
follow the steps further detailed on the account management page/battle.net site
Because your old account had its subscription cancelled, you
might
have to do additional steps I have no idea of.
Could someone more experienced please comment on this matter?

If your old account has been merged to a battle.net account already and you didn't do this, your only way to get that account back would be to call Blizzard and have them un-merge your old account from whatever account it happens to be attached to. You'll have to provide them some proof that you were the owner of the account (usually a copy of your ID and/or the CD keys and similar stuff).
If you just want to start over with a new WoW account, you should be able to get digital keys for a new WoW account without having to buy new boxed products from the Blizzard store.
Unlike other Blizzard products, the CD keys for WoW are attached to your WoW account so all you need to do is merge your WoW account with your battle.net account and you'll have access to both WoW and digital downloads for the game even if you lose the original disks for WoW.
