localhost/www.google.com when i expected just www.google.com.

Try using a valid URL.

Hint: if you drop the protocol prefix, the URL is interpreted as being
relative to your current location.

The problem is with href url you are using.
If you’ll try to put it to the HTML directly (without
Sinatra or HAML):

<a href="www.google.com">link</a>

You will get same result (in fact browser simply treats this
URL as relative to current one). The correct way for you is:

%a{:href => "//www.google.com"}link

Or with specifying protocol directly

%a{:href => "http://www.google.com"}link

NOTICE, that if you are not specifying a protocol, e.g.
//foobar.com then browser will automagcally use the protocol
of your current URL.
