            self.lblWebsite.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
            self.lblWebsite.text= @"www.gmail.com";
            self.lblWebsite.font =[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial-BoldMT" size:16];
            self.lblWebsite.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
            self.lblWebsite.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
            self.lblWebsite.textColor=[UIColor blackColor];
            [cell.contentView addSubview:self.lblWebsite];

            UITapGestureRecognizer *gestureRec = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(openUrl:)];
            gestureRec.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;
            gestureRec.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
            [self.lblWebsite addGestureRecognizer:gestureRec];
            [gestureRec release];
       }
    }
  return Cell;
}

Method

- (void)openUrl:(id)sender
{

    UIGestureRecognizer *rec = (UIGestureRecognizer *)sender;

    id hitLabel = [self.view hitTest:[rec locationInView:self.view] withEvent:UIEventTypeTouches];

    if ([hitLabel isKindOfClass:[UILabel class]]) {
         NSLog(@"%@",((UILabel *)hitLabel).text);
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"www.google.com"]];
    }
}

You done right but as i think use http:// before www.google.com like

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.stackoverflow.com"];

if (![[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url])

NSLog(@"%@%@",@"Failed to open url:",[url description]);

and i think it may work for you

Just Add "http://" it will work Example:-

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.facebook.com"]];
