Typically, that's meant using buttons for the primary action(s), and links for the secondary stuff. For example, on a multi-page sign-up, buttons are used for the main navigational elements (like "Next" or "Buy it Now") and links for the commands that aren't as important or are less likely to be used (like "Cancel" or "Change settings").
