How about this?
<div>
<span onclick="location.href='http://www.google.com';">Go to Google
<img src="https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png" width="40" height="40" border="0" />
</span>
<span onclick="location.href='http://www.yahoo.com';">Go to Yahoo
<img src="https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png" width="40" height="40" border="0" />
</span>
</div>
And the following for the CSS:
div {
width: 400px;
}
span {
display: inline-block;
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
img {
float: right;
}

Note that you have some errors in your markup such as quotes (") that you didn't close.
