I agree. I don't think Combat Bonds by themselves give any rank at all but I don't have a source handy for that.
The idea in this case is taking Massacre Missions that ask you to destroy X number of ships in Combat Zones; you're getting the Credits/Materials/Commodities/Rank from missions on top of the Credits you get from Combat Bonds.
It isn't too difficult to stack Massacre Missions and I've seen them pay out ~11m for 108 ships. While Donation/Courier missions are probably faster, I find Massacre missions more entertaining and they're probably the best Credits per hour you can manage outside of Sothis/Ceos runs.
