    Maybe because nobody uses "widgets.com" as their keyword? Do you rank for the keyword widgets?

    Most sites usually rank for their own domain name, without even trying.

    So, ranking for the domain name isn't the problem, the problem is the actual keyword. You need some authority pages/links pointing at the page you want ranked. You also need on-page optimization (not keyword stuffing, just saying).
