Underscore in anchor

Advertise on BHW
I'm doing some keyword research and I've found a few urls with underscores in them. I'm wondering how they apply in SEO
 
underscores in the URL are considered the same as a dash (by google anyway)
PREVIOUSLY - the underscore was treated differently, but G changed the way the treated underscores in 2007, and now they are identical to dashes in URLs. And yes, G treats them as spaces for the purpose of understanding your keywords.
 
OP was talking about anchor text not URLS

but yeah if the previous poster is right then having anchor text

jonny like cake, jonny-like-cake, jonny_like_cake would be counted as the same word "jonny like cake" with no diversity
 
I'm sorry, I meant the url. Thanks for the help :-)
 
Underscores gives importance in seo, and withou that it looks odd with spaces.
