How to open website url outside of phonegap app

I just created a Phonegap/Android application but seem to be unable to open any website in any browser. I have tried to open a browser within the app as well as outside of the app - still no luck. Additionally, i have tried just about every snippet that other people have recommended yet still nothing happens when i click the link. Here is what i have tried:

1) I tried adding the following to my config.xml file:

<gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser" />

then adding this to my index.html file:
<a onclick="navigator.app.loadUrl('https://google.com/', { openExternal:true });">Link</a>

2) My next attempt was trying:

<a onclick='window.open("http://google.com","_system", "location=yes")' href='javascript:void(0)' >Link</a>

Does anybody know what i am doing wrong?
