As a third alternative to the ones suggested here, you could use CSS to style a hyperlink to look like a button. If it works more like a link (goes somewhere, not performs an action), it may be better this way - for example, as far as I know, search engines may not always submit forms, but they would follow a link.

If you want to separate content (html) from behaviour (JavaScript), as oppose to what Darrel suggested I would use:

<form action="http://www.google.com">
<input type="button" value="go to goole" />
</form>

Even thought this is not a form proper, it will work fine, and degrade gracefully when JS is disabled.

Not really a hyperlink per se but you can take the user elsewhere with a button.

<input type="button" value="Go To Google" onclick="window.location='http://google.com'" />
